Right fielder Michael Harrington loaded the bases with a single to right setting the plate for Ozzie Lewis who grounded into a fielder choice to scratch the first run for the Snappers. With the game tied at one Nate Hanson flew out to center field to score Santana from third, giving the Snappers a one run advantage.
