In the bottom of the sixth, Chris Rotondo was hit by a pitch and then moved to second after JP Radvany drew a walk. Ryan Toohers walked after an eight pitch at bat to load the bases with one out. Pat O'Neil grounded out to the shortstop but was able to score Rotondo to make it 6-1.

The Wildcats had runners on first and second with one out in the bottom of the eighth and then Dominic Sarro singled to left center to load the bases. Sam Maruglis walked to score Lorusso and make it 6-2. The next batter Tyler Bruno hit a sacrifice fly to right center and scored Toohers to make it a three run game at 6-3.
