Jesus Cota drove in Murillo with a run scoring double to make it 1-0. Alberto Gonzalez singled to put runners at first and third. After a one out walk to load the bases, Shaver got the second out but gave up a two run single to Miguel Montero to make it 3-0. The Smokies made it 5-0 in the eighth inning on a two run homer by Jerry Gil. The two runs were the first earned runs allowed by the Diamond Jaxx pitching staff in the last thirty-one innings.
