The Warriors added five more the following inning, extending the lead to 8-0. Tavion Williams scored on a wild pitch before Morales delivered a double to right-center which brought home two more. Angel Diaz then singled up the middle to score yet another run.
 
Back-to-back two-RBI singles from Richard Rodriguez and Tommy Diaz assisted in the Warriors adding five more runs in the bottom of the sixth to activate the run-rule.
 
Offensively, the Warriors were led by A. Diaz who was a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate with a double, two RBI's and a run scored.
