Auburn would strike for two runs in the first inning to play from ahead for the second straight night. After Daniel Johnson reached on a fielder's chouice, Sheldon Neuse walked. Both runners would come in to score on Randy Encarnacion's RBI single.

In the bottom of the third inning the Doubledays would take advantage of a Scrappers error to push across three more runs. Black Perkins started the inning reaching on a Luke Wakamatsu fielding error. Johnson would then single before Neuse drove in both runners with a two run triple.

The Scrappers would not get another baserunner until the top of the seventh inning. After Cerda was hit by a pitch to start the inning, Emmanuel Tapia would also reach with a walk. Todd Isaacs picked up the Scrappers only other hit with a bunt single in the eighth inning. Logan Ice and Wakamatsu would each walk once over the final two innings to provide the only other runners for the Scrappers.
