Christian Kinsley (2 for 2, BB, 2R, RBI) got the inning started with a lead-off single and Bolick followed with a walk. With runners as 2nd and 3rd, Hudock singled down the right field line to score Kinsley and Bolick. Mellinger then walked and Markowicz reached base on a fielder's choice. Stillittano singled to score Mellinger and Will Algard (1 for 2, double, R, 2RBI) doubled to left field scoring Mellinger and Markowicz.
