Brett Rodriguez drove home a run with an RBI single in the second inning before the Nuts posted a six-run third frame.

The Nuts started the third inning with three straight singles that included an RBI knock from Spencer Packard to put the Nuts in front. Colin Davis then crushed a three-run homer before Cesar Izturis Jr. added on with a solo home run in the inning as well.

The Giants started their comeback quickly in the bottom of the third with a pair of home runs. Fabian Pena lifted a solo shot to start the frame before Luis Matos smacked his second home run of the game, a three-run shot to make it a two-run game.
