Each of the first three batters of the game each reached base for the Bullfrogs. Robert Youngdahl walked and then came in to score on a triple from Bryant Burleson. It was Burleson's 50th RBI of the season. Burleson then came around to score on an infield single from Jimmy Coady, who later came around to score on another single from Jose Godinez.
After three hits and three runs in the first, Green Bay didn't collect another hit until the seventh.
