In the top of the 2^nd inning the Warriors used two hit batters, a single and error to make it a 2-1 score.  In the bottom half Lowe led off with a double and Tucker McDonald followed with a double to drive him home.  Banks followed with a single to score McDonald and extend the Indians lead to 4-1 after two complete.

The Warriors got a lead off single in the top of the 3^rd inning but couldn't score.  The Indians tacked on run number five without a hit as Norfleet drew a one out walk and came around to score on an error.

The Warriors did not score in the top of the 4^th inning but the Indians plated seven runs to put the game out of reach.  Ricks got a lead off double to start the inning and then Banks was hit by a pitch.  Moncus doubled in both runners.  Bennett followed with an infield hit and Norfleet drew a walk to load the bases with no outs.  Patel hit a fly ball to left that was misplayed by the left fielder allowing two runs to score but he did get a force out on the runner at 2^nd base.  With Patel on first Moye reached on an error and then Lowe followed with a bomb to right field putting the Indians on top 12-1 and when they got three quick outs from the Warriors in the top of the 5^th inning the run rule win was secured.
