In the second, the Waves erupted, getting a runner on with an error, a walk, and back-to-back singles to make it 2-0. They reloaded the bases on another error, and scored on an RBI groundout and a seeing-eye single to make it 4-0. A line-drive single made it 5-0 and a passed ball then made it 6-0.
The Blue Sox were able to get two back in the following half frame on a double steal where the throw to second was off the line and ended up in center field; left fielder Storm Wilson, who led the frame off with a double, easily scored. Catcher Josh Graham then drove a liner to center, plating right fielder Bobby Stahel.
In the fourth, designated hitter Joseph Carcone doubled down the right field line, and shortstop Angelo La Bruna followed up with a double down the left field line that hopped the third base bag to make it 6-3.
In the fifth, Trey Sikes drove an 0-1 pitch into the Blue Sox bullpen to make it 6-4 on his second home run of the year.
In the seventh, the Blue Sox had two on with two outs for Carcone, and he delivered again, driving a single to center to plate Sikes, but on the following play, Graham was cut down at home after pinch-hitting shortstop Garrett Black singled to center.
The Blue Sox got the tying run to third with one out in the ninth, but a strikeout and a groundout left it there.
