Ortiz would follow up with an RBI single of his own to extend the lead to 2-0. 1st baseman Geremy Garcia then drove in 2 after a seeing eye single through the right side. A balk by the Raiders pitcher then drove in Keanu Rodriguez to extend the lead to 5. Jacome and Zamora would drive in 2 of their own to extend the Sharks lead to 7.

On the other side of the ball, Miami Dade would get a strong start from Juan Miguel Fernandez. Fernandez would throw 5 shutout innings, only allowing 1 hit and striking out 5.
