The woodies tied the ball game in the bottom of the 1st with Maximo Acosta hitting an RBI single driving in Cam Cauley. In the bottom of the 5th, Marcus Smith stole second and third on back-to-back pitches. He was driven in on a single from Maximo Acosta, giving him his second RBI of the day. On the next at bat, Tucker Mitchell drilled a ball deep over the left field wall scoring himself and Maximo. The Woodies now lead 4-1. After a double in the bottom of the 6th by Yosy Galan, he steals third and is brought in on an RBI single by Cam Cauley. The Wood Ducks win the game 5-1 and take the series five games to one.
