The Wood Ducks got on the board in the bottom of the fourth. Following a walk to Leody Taveras, Anderson Tejeda hit a two-run home run to right field off of Keys starter Ofelky Peralta.
Down East would add another run in the fifth inning on another home run. Melvin Novoa launched his second homer of the year to left field to make it a 3-0 lead. The Wood Ducks fourth run was scored on a single from Novoa off of Keys reliever Matt Trowbridge.
