On the play, Wilfred Veras throws out the second Lookouts baserunner trying to score on the play on a sensational throw by Veras. The Barons tied the game in the bottom of the second inning when Mario Camilletti popped out in foul territory, but the Lookouts' first baseman stepped into the dugout after catching the foul ball. The umpires called home Braden Montgomery, and the game was tied at 1-1.

In the top of the third inning, Ruben Ibarra singled on a ground ball to left field, scoring Edwin Arroyo, and the Lookouts took the 2-1 lead.
