It all started with a single by David Fowler, followed up by RBI's by Yount, Padilla, Gordon, and Miaso; giving the Blacksnakes a 4-0 lead. In the bottom of the third, Fowler started off the inning with a single and then Yount hit his fourth homerun of the season, giving the Blacksnakes a 6-0 lead over the south division leaders.
In the 6th inning, the Diablos began to answer back scoring two runs and then they scored 4 more in the seventh to tie the game at 6.
In the eleventh inning, Padilla hit a single, and then Gordon hit a single to shortstop, a dropped ball at second base prevented the double play.
