The score was still 1-0 in the sixth when Kelvin Beltre doubled with one out and Ewing was hit by a pitch. Jose Vizcaino Jr. singled, loading the bases, and Jacob Heyward doubled to left field, scoring Beltre and Ewing.

The GreenJackets scored their final run in the ninth inning when Hayward doubled, moved to third on a two-out single by Brandon Van Horn and scored on a single by Ashford Fulmer.
