After a quiet fourth inning, the Owls would add another run in the top of the fifth.

From there, Austin scored on a groundout by LaTouche to give the Owls an 8-2 lead.

Although the Owls scoring ended in the top of the fifth, the Hawks began to fight back as they scored one run in the bottom of the inning cutting the lead to 8-3.

The comeback would continue in the seventh, as the Hawks got their fourth run on a double to center field, fifth on a single through the left side and sixth on a groundout.
