The Warriors' (8-1 overall) bats were putting in work this time around as they tallied 10 hits in total for the game. Starting on the mound for Webber was Xavier Rodriguez who was lights out in his seven innings of work. X. Rodriguez did not give up any runs and only allowed two hits while striking out seven along the way. Dawson Young came in relief in the final two innings and completely shut the Conquistadors (1-8) out after facing six batters and striking out all of them.

Bryan Eusebio would be hit by a pitch, bringing home the first run of the game. A sacrifice fly to right field from Paul Sustachek would score pinch-runner Tavion Williams to give the Warriors a 2-0 lead.

In the bottom of the sixth, Florida National would start the inning by walking the bases loaded. Diaz would be hit by a pitch to score yet another run. Later in the inning, a wild pitch from the Conquistadors would score Luis Acevedo, making it a four-run game.
