With one out in the Legends' ninth, Telvin Nash drew a walk. Jhonny Medrano ran for Nash, and Medrano scored when Ben Heath delivered a double to right center field. Heath went to third on an infield out and scored on a single by Tyler Burnett.

In the bottom of the ninth, Hickory had scored a run and had the bases loaded with one out, but Lexington reliever Jorge DeLeon struck out Alejandro Selen and Kellin Deglan to end the game.
