The Bats opened the scoring in the bottom of the first. With two on and two down against RailRiders starter Sean Boyle, a double by Jack Rogers gave Louisville a 2-0 lead.

Boyle held Louisville in check until the fifth when Edwin Rios and Ryan Vilade hit back-to-back doubles to extend the lead to 3-1.

Davis led off the seventh with a solo home run to center off reliever Lenny Torres, Jr., drawing Scranton/Wilkes-Barre within one again.

With two outs in the top of the ninth, Davis lined a game-tying home run to left off Bats closer Zach Maxwell to tie the game at three.
