The NL would add a run in the 2nd inning and again in the 3rd to take a 5-0 lead on 3B Brad Corell's solo shot to left.

The Golden Baseball League fought back in the 4th when RF Timothy Rodriguez (YUM) singled, stole second and was driven in by C Mike Rose (CHO). J.J. Sherrill (CHO) drew a pinch hit walk in the 5th and would later come around to score on an RBI single to left by 2B Jimmy Rohan (OCY) to make the score 5-2.

3B Ramos Amos hit a bases loaded triple down the rightfield line for the NL in the 7th to open up a 9-2 lead. CF Lino Garcia (TUC) and Sherrill hit back-to-back doubles in the top of the 9th to cap the scoring at 9-3.

The box score was full at the end of the night, with a total of 45 players seeing action. Five Tucson Toros made appearances including Garcia who finished 1-for-3 with a double and run scored. SS Ryan Priddy (TUC) was 0-for-5 with a couple of hard line drive outs.
