The Kingfish took back the 3-2 lead in the fifth on a sacrifice fly from Marty Bechina. Green Bay would tie the game again at 3-3 in the sixth inning on a two-out RBI base hit by Keaton Smith (Junior, Univ. of Nevada).
In the visiting half of the seventh, Kenosha would scratch across a pair of runs to break the tie for the third time in the game. Connor Doyle scored on a wild pitch to put the Kingfish back in front 4-3. Bechina then posted a RBI double to right field to stretch the advantage to 5-3.
Kenosha exploded with four runs in the eighth inning, beginning with Bryce Carter scoring on another wild pitch followed by Scott Dubrule's two-run single to make it 8-3. A RBI walk drawn by Ben Troike extended the margin to 9-3.
