The Blue Sox would score another run in the 5th to put them up 7-2 before the Bulldogs posted one more run in the 6th. The run came after Mike DeDonato and Zac Talis hit back to back singles and DeDonato was brought in to score from a Mike Taylor sacrifice fly. The game would end with the score of 7-3 Lexington.

Mike Taylor, Mike DeDonato, and Darren Hartwell all had two hits a piece. Mike Taylor also recorded all 3 RBI's for the Bulldogs offense.
