Dace Kime would keep the Lugnuts off the board until the bottom of the 3rd inning. After walking Gunnar Heidt to start the inning, Kime allowed a 2 out RBI single to Richard Urena that tied the score at 1.

The Lugnuts would then take the lead for good in the bottom of the 4th. With 1 out, Danny Jansen hit a deep fly ball to leftfield. Dorssys Paulino was unable to make the catch, having the ball bounce out of his glove for a two base error. Lansing would then put together back to back 2 out singles to push their lead to 3-1.

The Captains were able to cut the score to 3-2 in the top of the 7th inning. With 2 outs, Allen singled to score Claudio Bautista who started the inning with a base hit.
