It was a quick first inning as both teams went three up, three down.

The Woodies again went three up, three down to end the second inning. Augusta left one base runner stranded in the top of the third after a walk to Garcia. Third time is not the charm as again the Woodies went three up, three down. The GreenJackets lead 2-0 after three innings.

While the Wood Ducks were unable to score, but finally had some base runners via a walk to Barroso and a single by Jones.
