The Bulls regained the lead with a run on two hits in the bottom of the fourth, but Ismael Munguia drilled a solo home run to the seats in right to tie the game at two. It was the first of the season for the RailRiders outfielder.

Both teams scored in the seventh. After Scranton/Wilkes-Barre took the lead on a bases loaded walk to Rodriguez, Durham evened the game at three on a single, a steal and a run-scoring double from Tre' Morgan.
