Alma would finally break through in the top of the seventh when Cooper Kauffold (Sebewaing, Mich.) homered over the right field wall. This was Kauffold's second homerun of the week. Alma would look to make a comeback in the eighth, starting with a Kevin Tuttle (Woodhaven, Mich.) single to shortstop. The next batter, Joshua Robinson (Dewitt, Mich.) singled to right field.
