That lead didn't last long as Coastal Bend scored two unearned runs in the fourth and took the lead with a four-run fifth inning. Edwin Maldonado broke the 4-4 tie with a two-run home run to right centerfield. That blow came off Shreveport losing pitcher Josh Gold (0-1). Ken Henderson (1-0), the starting pitcher for Coastal Bend picked up the victory and Shawn Morgan pitched the ninth to record his first save of the year.

Hector Lebron led the Sports with three of the six Shreveport hits as the Sports fall to 1-8 and Coastal Bend remains in first place in the Central League with a 6-2 record.
