The Flames added two runs in eighth inning, creating a one-run game going into the final frame. UIC then tied the game in the bottom of the ninth, sending the game into extra innings for the first time this season.
 
After a leadoff triple in the bottom of the 11th inning, UIC recorded a walk-off win to end game one of the doubleheader.
