Dixie finished off what was for them a dominating performance in the tourney with a 9-5 win. The Rebels scored early and often, moving out to a 9-1 lead after five innings. Pitcher J.T. Sherman shut Salt Lake down until the sixth, when the Bruins plated a pair of runs on RBI singles by Corey Wayment and Jake Abbott. Salt Lake got an unearned run in the seventh, then got another run on a wild pitch in the eighth. But reliever Brandon Lyon came in to close the door for the Rebels. Trent Swallow had the big blow for the Rebels early. His bases-loaded double produced three runs in the second to put Dixie up 5-1. Jake Jordison homered in the fifth to make it 8-1, and Dallas Pollaro singled in another run in the fifth to round out the Rebel scoring.
