In the top of the 4th inning, Lakeland regained the lead scoring 5 runs and taking a 6-4 lead. Fuentes again got the inning started with another double. Square was then hit by a pitch before LaGreca recorded a sacrifice. Josiah Cuesta then hit an RBI-double before Kaleb Corrin hit a 2-RBI double. Ray Cowen closed out the scoring with a 2-run homerun. The Lakers allowed Tri-C to tie the score in the home half as Lakeland issued a pair of walks, hit a batter, and committed an error to aid Tri-C. Lakeland was held scoreless in the 5th before the Triceratops erupted for 7 runs in the bottom of the 5th inning to put the game away. Lakeland would add a run in the 7th inning to close out their scoring. In the 7th, Ray Cowen and Cody Crawford hit back-to-back singles before Cowen later scored on a wild pitch.
