Doug Joyce led off with a double and later scored on a ground out by RJ Rayborn.

Christian Brothers added an unearned run in the fifth on a throwing error by Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ pitcher John Reed. The Bucs added two more runs in the seventh to take the lead. Reed allowed the bases loaded with no outs when his throw to get the lead runner at third on a bunt sailed wide. Dew entered the game, and gave up a hit and a wild pitched to allow the two runs for the Bucs. Dew then struck out the side.

Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ had a runner on base in each the seventh and eighth innings, but did not score. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ went in order in the ninth, with the final out coming on a deep fly out to the warning track by Danny Grimm.

Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ had five hits in the game, all coming from five different players. The Bucs where led by Hunter Parham with two hits, the only player on the day with multiple hits.
