In the fifth inning, they scored three more runs on hits by Elijah Nunez and Luke Dickerson, along with a sacrifice fly by Vaquero, making it a 4-0 game.

The Nationals broke the game open in the sixth inning, with Luke Dickerson providing the most significant swing as he hit a three-run homer, putting the Shorebirds behind 9-0.
