Ryan Nicholson would catch the Mud Puppies sleeping as he sent a one to the short stop who could not get the ball to a base before the runner. Kai Roberts would send one towards the second baseman who dropped the ball getting Roberts onboard.
Brody Harding slapped a single past the short stop sending another run across the plate. Ariel Armas would register the final hit of the inning pushing the final run across the plate.
