The Rams would score single runs in the 4th and 5th innings, but the Panthers would answer right back taking the lead 5-4, and adding insurance runs in the 6th and later in the 9th inning. Javier Rodriguez would pitch 3 1/3 innings of relief to give the Panthers a chance. He would give away to Carson Cox in the bottom of the 9th inning and Cox would get the last two outs to seal the win.
