The IronBirds added to their lead in the second. Austin Goolsby reached on a one out walk, and Dudley Leonora followed that up with a single. Two batters later, Davis hit a two-RBI single making it 3-0 IronBirds.

Aberdeen added more runs in the third. Wynston Sawyer led off with a double, and Connor Narron followed him immediately with a double of his own, scoring Sawyer. Narron advanced to third on an Austin Goolsby single and scored on an Austin Knight sac fly, making it 5-0 Aberdeen.

Brooklyn sent six batters to the plate in the top of the fourth, scoring two runs off of one IronBirds error, a single, a double and a sac fly, making it 5-2.
