The Mud Puppies would try to take the MoonDogs down needling them for a run at every opportunity but never able to win the inning. The MoonDogs would see an explosion of come in the fourth inning up 7-6. Baker would continue his debut on fire with a base clearing single. Angelo Aleman would make himself know to the fans with a bases juiced double that would clear them putting the MoonDogs in a commanding 12-6 lead.
MoonDogs would not let up on the Puppies piling on another four runs before the end of the game. The Puppies would try to come back in the ninth but would fall short as Nick Hentges would not let them get going enough to make it count.
