The Wood Ducks added to their lead in the top of the third with two runs. Jayce Easley led off with a double and stole third (29) with one out. Harris singled again and Easley scored to put Down East ahead 2-0. During the at-bat of Keyber Rodriguez, Harris stole second (15) and scored on a double by Rodriguez for the 3-0 lead.

The bats for Myrtle Beach (24-29) exploded as they put up 12 unanswered runs, including a five-run fourth inning, against Down East pitching to take a commanding 12-3 lead.

Thanks to a two-for-four night with two RBIs, Harris earned the Suddenlink Player of the Game.
