The Braves got on the board in the third inning scoring two runs. Ryan Query led off with a double and later scored on an error by Rangel Ravelo allowing Ross Heffley to reach first. Kyle Kubitza then doubled home Heffley for the 2-0. However, Kannapolis answered in the top of the fourth by scoring two runs to tie the game. Grant Buckner led off the frame with a single followed by a Kevan Smith two run home run. Rome regained the lead in the fifth on an RBI base hit by Heffley for the 3-2 lead.

In the sixth, Will Skinner reached on another error by Ravelo and after a stolen base and single by Chase Anselment, Skinner would cross the plate on a Brandon Drury ground out. Anselment would advance to third and score on Query's single giving Rome a 5-2 lead.

Kannapolis added a run in the seventh for the 5-3 score. Rome pushed the lead back to three runs when Heffley singled to left, advanced to second on a balk and was driven in on a Kyle Kubitza single to secure the 6-3 victory.
