With two on, and one out, Ehret proceed to induce a Davis groundout to Blake Trahan at short. Trahan, ranging to his right, cut down the lead runner at third for the second out of the frame. One batter late, Angel Ortega hit a slow roller behind the second base bag, sliding head first into first just after Trahan's throw.
The Tortuga's pitching staff combined to allow just one hit over the last five innings.
