Daniel Fields would then bloop an RBI single into left field, scoring David Washington to put Long Island out in front 2-0. In the top of the third, the Ducks added another run by way of a sacrifice fly off the bat of L.J. Mazzilli. In the top of the sixth, David Washington hit his third home run in two days and 14^th of the season, a two-run shot that gave the visitors a 5-0 cushion. Moreno would then double home Hector Sanchez to make it 6-0 in favor of the Flock. Matt den Dekker added an insurance run in the seventh with a sacrifice fly of his own.
