The Tobs answered in the first with two runs of their own on a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly to tie the game after one inning of play. In the second, Chris Williams homered for the first time this summer to give the Steamers the lead again. However, the Tobs answered with a run of their own in the bottom half of the inning to make it 3-3.

The Clams got some insurance in the eight when Connor Kopach had a blooper to right that fell for a base hit and brought home Chris Ayers to make it 6-3.
The back end of the bullpen was strong again for the Steamers. Nick Spear picked up the save for Edenton by retiring the Tobs in the ninth including two strikeouts in the inning.
