TJ Toscano took the plate and singled on a 0-1 count, pushing both Lions in and putting them up 2-0. Mike Iacobellis grounded out to 2nd base and advanced Toscano to 3rd. Monroe walked Brian Perez just before Vincent Napolitano hit a single through the left side to send Toscano home. The score was now 3-0. Napolitano stole 2nd, and scored on the next hit from Ali Ghiraz. By the top of the 2nd the Lions were up 5-0.
