Chesapeake (26-29) opened the scoring in the third with two runs on no hits and two errors against Akron starter Rodney Boone (L, 3-3). After reaching on a fielding error by shortstop Alex Mooney, Alfredo Velasquez scored on a sacrifice fly from Silas Ardoin. The next batter, Adam Retzbach, reached first on a throwing error from second baseman Tyreese Turner, allowing Douglas Hodo III to score from third. Those were the first errors of the series committed by Akron.
After Guy Lipscomb hit a solo homer off Gibson in the fourth, the Baysox responded with two more runs in the sixth. Jalen Vasquez collected his first hit of the series with an RBI single to right before Velasquez poked an RBI single to right to give Chesapeake its biggest lead of the game at 4-1.
