A Lukes sacrifice fly in the fourth scored Tristan Gray, who had doubled to begin the frame.
Jacksonville was finally able to get on the board in the sixth. Bryson Brigman singled to begin the inning and moved to second on a wild pitch. He advanced to third on a line out to right before coming in to score on Isan Díaz's RBI ground out.
