In the fourth, Ezra McNaughton (1-for-3, HR, 2 RBI, 3 R) hit his 12th home run of the season, tying an Appalachian League single-season record. His solo home run gave the Flyboys a 7-1 lead.

Wallace hit an RBI double in the sixth inning, and the Flyboys scored three more times in the seventh, leading 12-5 entering the eighth inning. Johnson City scored two more runs in the eighth inning, but the Doughboys' struggles on the mound proved insurmountable.
