After a Terrence McClain strikeout, Trask Munoz singled in Martin to knot the game at 1-1. Evansville would take a lead in the top of the fifth when Juan Downing singled home Denver Stuckey to make it 2-1 Otters.
Florence would take the lead for good in the bottom of the inning. Keith Black (0-1) got the first two batters of the inning for Evansville, but then Josh Sanchez got a bunt base hit. Wally Quigg then blooped a single over the head of Brian McKenna moving Sanchez to third. Mike Galloway singled through the left side, scoring Sanchez to tie the game at 2-2. Hall then hit a 2-0 pitch over the left field fence for the 5-2 lead.
The Otters got a ninth inning homer from Terrence McClain to round out the scoring.
