Kinston would break a scoreless tie in the fourth. The frame started with a Bo Greenwell single. After an Abner Abreu walk, Chun Chen grounded into a double play. Kyle Bellows then belted a two-out single to score Greenwell and put Kinston on the board. With Kinston up 1-0 going into the seventh inning, Doug Pickens belted a home run to left field. Pickens fifth homer of the season made it to the concourse in left center field, giving Kinston a 2-0 lead.

Matt Langwell would pitch the final 1 1/3 for his third save of the season.
Kinston would get some breathing room in the top of the eighth inning when Jeremy Tice delivered a two-out, two RBI double. The extra base hit scored Abreu and Juan Diaz who walked earlier in the inning. The Indians added four runs in the ninth inning thanks to three more two-out, RBI hits. Chen, Bellows and Diaz did the damage. Bellows ninth inning triple drove in two runs as he went 3-for-5 with 3 RBI. Diaz, Tice and Pickens each had two hits for Kinston.
