Cullen Jozwiak then laid down a sacrifice bunt that was thrown away by Nick Winston. With runners at first and second, Matt Hearn bunted the ball to the third baseman Greco and Greco threw the ball past the covering Shoemaker at first. One run scored, runners moved to second and third. Winston proceeded to walk the next batter, Skip Handelsman came out to the mound a brought on Matt McCarthy to pitch. McCarthy was only able to record one out before being replaced by Brendan Meissner. Nine runs scored in that inning before the third out was recorded.

The offense was once again stagnant. The Bullfrogs only mustered six hits and scoring one run off an RBI single by Zach Biermann in the bottom of the 9th. Charlie Hecht had the start for the Kingfish and going seven innings, not allowing a single run.
