The Black Bears extended their lead to 3-1 in the bottom of the sixth as second baseman Kevin Kramer singled and advanced to second on a fielding error, allowing third baseman Mitchell Tolman to score. That ended the night for Renegades starting pitcher Angel Yepez, who allowed three runs and two earned runs in four and a third innings pitched.

Hudson Valley picked up three runs in the top of the sixth inning to take the lead at 4-3.
