Memphis took its first lead of the afternoon 7-6 after four runs came across the plate in the third inning. Hampton once again took control once more with Evans's single up the middle. The Tigers would respond in the bottom half of the frame by producing nine runs. While the Pirates brought in two more runs, Memphis homered to center field ending the game in five innings.
