The Dragons jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning. Taylor Trammell walked to start the inning as he reached base safely in his ninth straight plate appearance. Trammell went from first to third on an error and scored on John Sansone's sacrifice fly to right field.

The Dragons added another run in the fourth when Jose Siri singled to left, went to third on a throwing error, and scored on Trammell's bunt single to make it 2-0.u1:p
