In the top of the third, USCB scratched across two runs - both of which were scored on wild pitches. 

The Fire added on a pair of runs in the fourth and fifth innings to advance the lead back to eight, 10-2, but USCB plated another run in the top of the sixth off a Fire error.

The two teams exchanged runs in the sixth and seventh innings, which made it a 13-4 affair after seven complete.
