Later in the inning, Kona Quiggle ripped a ball down the right-field line to make it 2-0 scoring Liniak and Greene. Staten Island got a run back in the bottom half of the inning on a solo-home run by Ezeiquel Duran.

After a scoreless second, Ryan Kreidler blasted his first home run of his pro career over the left-field fence to make it 3-1. Kreidler has now produced an RBI in the last four games for Connecticut.

After Jake Holton reached on a single, Quiggle doubled to put the runners in scoring position. Jordan Verdon singled home both base-runners to bring the lead to 5-1. Verdon now leads the team in RBIs with 10 on the season.
