Riding would start the night out strong through the first three innings.
Kip Fougerousse would get on base in the first with a well-placed single. Fougerousse would get pushed around the bases by the MoonDogs line up. Ryan Nicholson would be the lucky player to push Fougerousse in on Sac Fly.
Max Williams would get walked with two outs in the inning. Brody Harding would single out to left field with Williams executing the hit and run to prevent the fielder's choice. Ariel Armas would smash one deep into left field pushing the rest of the MoonDogs in for the 3-0 lead.

Williams would strike again with his second hit of the night sending Brendan Hord in and Nicholson to third. Harding would be walked along with Armas getting hit. James Agabedis III would single to near left scoring Nicholson. Harding would be caught going for home on Agabedis single ending the inning.
The MoonDogs would find themselves with the bases loaded in the seventh as the Larks walked the first three batters. Agabedis would ground out sending Williams home.
Dustin Crenshaw would add some extra security with his first hit of the day sending one to the gap in near right field. Sending two MoonDogs in for a 10-run lead.
Behind a wild pitch and two more walks the MoonDogs would find themselves scoring one run and loading the bases for the second time this inning. The Larks would get a double paly call and end the inning.
