Bridgeport (23-21) scored their only run in the bottom of the 2nd against Baez when Andres Perez brought home Luis Lopez with an RBI single.

The Riversharks extended their lead in the top of the 5th when Rodriguez became wild. Rodriguez walked four batters in the inning including a bases-loaded walk to Mike Lamb that brought home Toby Hall. Two batters later, Raul Padron drew a bases-loaded walk against reliever Will Cunnane to make it 4-1 Camden.
