Durham responded in the third inning as DH Wander Franco connected on an RBI single to even the score at two. Later in the inning, Xavier Edwards used an RBI groundout to give the Bulls the lead. In the ninth, Haley would score on a Jacksonville fielding error, scoring an insurance run for the 4-2 lead.
The Durham pitching staff had an outstanding outing as the lineup of Luke Bard, Kevin Herget, Joel Peguero, and Chris Muller surrendered two runs on nine hits, while ringing up nine strikeouts. Herget remained undefeated on the season (4-0) as he picked up the win after five innings of work, allowing no runs on seven hits and recording four strikeouts, with Muller notching the save.
