The game's last lead went to Express thanks to a fourth inning rally that saw two runs cross the plate on an RBI single by Jason Gagnon.

One run in the bottom of the sixth helped River Cats close its deficit to 6-3. An RBI double by Adelman set off a River Cats rally. But Ballinas got Sam Myers to ground out to end the game.
