• AJ Figueroa ignited the four run second inning by sending home Robert Dunkle, followed by yet another ground-rule double from CJ Demers (two RBI), and an RBI-single from Hartman to lift the score to 5-1 in favor of the Scots. The Gators were able to cross the plate in the top of the third thanks to a pair of timely hits (5-2)
• In the top of the fourth, pitcher Michael Pelletier struck out the side to maintain Gordon's comfortable lead.
