Florence would respond with nine unanswered runs before Denis Phipps got the 'Cats back on the board with a 3-run blast to left center field to bring the 'Cats within two.
Following a 5-run top of the sixth, the 'Cats had taken the lead. That would not be all from the Y'alls, who would score 3 more unanswered to retake the lead. The 'Cats entered the top of the ninth trailing by one. After a leadoff double by right fielder Willy Garcia, Juan Silverio stepped into the box and delivered a clutch 2-run home run to right center field to take the lead once again, a lead they would not surrender.
