One batter later, Hector Lebron grounded into a fielder's choice that scored Mateo. With two down in the inning, Lance Calmus issued two 2-out walks and hit a batter to plate another run. Ryan Kane followed with a two out RBI single with the bases loaded and Billy Rich was thrown out at third, which beat the second run to the plate ending the inning with the Cutters on top 4-1.

With one down and the score now 4-2, Hector Lebron popped up with the bases loaded to shortstop that Shin Uchino couldn't catch.
