In the bottom of the fifth, the Majors broke the game open with a two-out rally scoring five runs on three hits while taking advantage of two Piedmont errors.

\#Matt Conn\# came in relief in the top of the ninth inning but could not close out the game allowing three runs off four hits as the Lions attempted a miraculous comeback.
