Felice then launched an RBI triple to left-center, scoring Murchison to push the lead to 5-0. Farfan then added a sac-fly, driving in Felice to cap off the explosive frame at 6-0.
 
The Otters tallied a five-spot in the seventh inning to seal the contest. The biggest blow came off the bat of Nick Maestas, who crushed a two-run double to right-center, bringing in Anthony McFarland and Farfan to push the lead to 11-4.
