CJ Hinojosa reached on an infield single in the seventh to score Kenny Piper from third to trim the deficit to 4-2. In the eighth, Jake Mangum came off the bench as a pinch hitter with two outs and Logan Driscoll at third base, but rifled a line drive right into reliever Tyler Jay's (S, 3) glove to end the frame. The Bulls went in order in the ninth.

Durham took a 1-0 lead against DL Hall (W, 1-1) in the third when Tristan Peters scored on a sac fly by Curtis Mead. Peters doubled down the right field line, then advanced to third on a groundout by Ronny Simon.

Over the final 15 innings of the series, 10 Durham relievers combined to blank the Sounds (24-20) in 14 of the 15 innings.
