The third baseman singled up the middle, driving in Harris to put the M-Braves up 1-0.

Biloxi had an opportunity to tie the game in the top of the third inning. Luis Castro started the frame with a single and Jesus Lujano doubled down the left-field line to put two men in scoring position. RHP Bryce Elder (W, 7-1) then hit Brent Diaz with a pitch, loading the bases as the lineup turned back over to David Hamilton.
