In the 3rd inning a leadoff single by Ben Langford, a passed ball, a walk by Kevin Johnston, a sac bunt by Brian Morrow, and a single by Sam Zimmerman allowed Langford to score. In the next inning a leadoff walk by Connor Major, a passed ball, a ground out by Jamie Danehower, and a single by Ben Langford scored Major. In the later innings Charger bats started hitting long balls. Sonny Romine hit a solo home run in the 5th, just to the right of the scoreboard.
