The Dillas took the lead in the bottom of the fifth. Stantrel Smith and Carlos Figueroa led off with singles. One out later, Reyes hit a two-run triple and Lockwood hit an RBI-single to make it 6-4.

The Dillas broke it open by sending 11 batters to the plate in the bottom of the seventh Reyes started off the inning with a double against Juan Diaz. Lockwood hit an RBI-single and Wong followed with a single. Wenger reached on a fielder's choice. James followed with a single. Keanon Simon hit an RBI-single. Smith lifted a fly ball to right field that Juan Cabrera dropped to load the bases.
