Durham broke the ice in the bottom of the third inning when Jake Bauers doubled to open the stanza and Willy Adames followed with a walk. Two batters later Bauers scored on a double play groundout, and Adames later scored on Casali's single to left.
In the fifth the Bulls tacked on another run when Casali scored from third on a wild pitch with two outs. In the seventh the home side made it a four-run advantage on an RBI double by Adam Moore, before Casali's RBI single in the eighth scored Adames, giving the home side a 5-0 lead.
