In the top of the fifth, Tyler Wade doubled, went to third on an infield out and scored when Michael O'Neill's ground ball got past shortstop Humberto Arteaga for an error. O'Neill stole second, continued to third on catcher Frank Schwindel's throwing error and scored on a sacrifice fly by Eduardo de Oleo, putting Charleston up 6-0.
