In the final inning, the Bulls did not allow a hit and pitcher Shawn Armstrong rang up a strikeout for the final out to secure the save.
Durham pitcher Tommy Romero got the start in game two on Sunday, throwing five innings, allowing two runs on three hits and ringing up nine strikeouts, picking up the win. Jacksonville pitcher Matthew Kent suffered the loss.
