A Jordan Viars walk, Bryan Rincon single, and Carson DeMartini hit by pitch loaded the bases in the top of the third for Jersey Shore. Viars scored on a Devin Saltiban sacrifice fly. Rincon and DeMartini executed a double steal of home and second during the next at-bat tie the game at 2.
In the bottom of the third, Jackson Castillo walked and scored after a pair of two-out singles from Josh Moylan and Coby Morales to put the Renegades back in front.
Lombard Jr. led off the fourth with a triple before a Castillo RBI single made it 4-2 Renegades.
Jersey Shore tied the game in the fifth. Rincon doubled and De Martini walked. In the next at-bat, with Rincon at third and DeMartini at second, a passed ball by Antonio Gomez allowed both runners to score to make it 4-4.
