DH Larry Bethea powered the Pelicans to their second-straight win, going 2-for-3 at the plate with a home run and four RBIs. Shreveport threatened the lead when they posted a run in the bottom of the fourth, but Pensacola starting pitcher Clark Girardeau proved to be too much for the opposition to handle. Girardeau pitched seven innings without allowing an earned run and only gave up three hits. The Pelican offense did the rest, with four hitters having multi-hit games. 2B Brandon Haygood was the only player to do so for Shreveport in the loss, going 2-for-3.

Starting Saints' pitcher T.J. Stanton allowed just two runs through seven innings, scattering seven hits and striking out three in the win.

Despite committing six errors, they were still able to claw back and tie the game at 6-all in the eighth, but the Cats' offense proved too much when they answered with three more runs in the bottom half of the inning.
