The next batter would hammer Mize, hitting a three-run shot to deep right field. RHP Casey Mize would last only two-thirds of an inning, as the Louisville Bats opened the game, with a stunning score of 3-0.

In the next inning, C Dustin Garneau hit a two-run blast to left center, bringing around himself and DH Ryan Lavarnway, who singled earlier in the inning. Then in the fourth inning, the Mud Hens took their first lead of the ballgame. DH Ryan Lavarnway would walk with one out, giving the Mud Hens a base runner. Then, INF Josh Lester would move Lavarnway to second, after hitting a line drive to right.

INF/OF Jack Lopez would follow up with an RBI double of his own, bringing around Robson. Lopez now has five doubles this year, with 12 RBIs. The big four run inning gave the Mud Hens a 5-3 lead over the Bats. The offense was not finished, yet.

In the fifth inning, OF Victor Reyes opened with a ground ball single. Then INF Zack Short would hit a sacrifice bunt, moving Reyes to second. OF Daz Cameron would follow with a base hit, moving Reyes to third. Cameron would tally his fifth stolen base on the season, putting the Hens with runners on second and third, with one away. INF/OF Kody Clemens would then hit an RBI groundball, scoring Reyes, and the Mud Hens led 6-3. Clemens now has 22 RBIs this year, tying INF Josh Lester for most team RBIs.
