Lexington jumped out to a three nothing lead with the three, second inning runs. The Legends added a run in the fourth on Caraballo's second run scoring single. Ole Sheldon singled in Edwin Maysonet in the fifth inning to make it 5-0.

Sheldon and J.R. Towles each belted solo homers to left field in the eighth inning to end the scoring.
