Colton Shaver was intentionally walked to load the bases for Chuckie Robinson, who... struck out for the second out. It all fell to Osvaldo Duarte and he came through with a two-run single to put the Hooks on the board and in the lead. Beer capped off the scoring with an RBI single in the 9th.

The Banditos opened the scoring in the 3rd as Austin Dennis went deep. Freúdis Nova followed with a double and he ended up scoring on an errant pickoff attempt. Trey Dawson scored on a wild pitch in the 7th and then he and Jonathan Lacroix drew bases-loaded walks in the 8th. Dawson and Dennis had two hits apiece.

Manny allowed a run on two hits, walked two, and struck out five, while Henley allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits, walked one, and fanned five.
Joe Perez was involved in both of the ValleyCats scoring plays; he drove in a run with a groundout in the 2nd and scored on a wild pitch in the 5th.

The Palm Beach 'Stros scored six runs in the first two innings. Unfortunately, they were kept off the board for the remainder of this game.
Yimmi Cortabarria hit an RBI single in the 1st and launched a three-run homer in the 2nd. Before he went deep, Dexter Jordan grounded into a force out that scored Tyler Krabbe and he later scored himself on a wild pitch that Sean Mendoza struck out on.
