Aidan Miller was hit by a pitch in the first and ultimately scored on a balk from Portland starter Tyler Uberstine. Reading manufactured a second run in the sixth thanks to a sac fly from Luis Verdugo, scoring Miller's second run of the night. In the seventh, Robert Moore laid down a perfect bunt single to plate Felix Reyes and make it a three run Reading lead.
Portland began to chip back with two runs in the bottom of the seventh. Blaze Jordan reached base and Tyler Miller followed with a two-run home run off Andrew Bechtold to make it 3-2, with Reading still on top. In the bottom of the eighth, Andrew Walling (L, 0-1) surrendered two runs. Blaze Jordan singled home Mikey Romero, then Miller scored Ahbram Leindo to put the Sea Dogs up 4-3.
