McCrimmon then scored from third on a passed ball, and Davis singled to score two more runs for the Mustangs. Smith ground out to short, but Maness came home on an overthrow at third base. Seawell then hit a triple to center field to score Davis.

The Mustangs led at the end of four innings by a score of 10-0. The Cavaliers went down in order in the top of the fifth inning, and North Moore had the win.
