• Both teams were unable to score in the second and after the Panthers stranded a runner in the 3rd, the Lions tied the game at 1 with a one-out home run of their own. After the blast, Majka allowed the next two runners to reach on a single and a walk but retired the next two batters to get out of the jam. 
• In the 4th, both the Panthers and Lions squandered leadoff runners to keep the game tied at 1. Pitt-Bradford broke the tie in the 5th as Noah Meyers hit a leadoff home run. It was his team-leading 3rd long ball of the year.

Evan Fragela was hit by a pitch to start the inning and moved all the way to third on a balk and ground out. Justin Dattoli brought him in on a single to put the Panthers up 2. David Gebhard singled and moved to second base before Meyers came through again with a 2-out 2-run single.
