Their only run in this stretch came in the 2nd. #18 Vinny Farley (1-for-3) and #11 Brandon Clinton (1-for-2 BB) started things with back to back singles. #24 Carter Evans (BB), then followed with a walk to load the bases. The run came when #4 Hart Blackstock (RBI BB) laid down a RBI Sacrifice Bunt, scoring Farley, getting Jefferson on the Board. This was all Jefferson had until the bottom of the 7th. Down 5-3, the Dragons tried to rally, scoring 2 runs,when #6 Billy Finch and #2 Billy Guthrie both get hit by pitches to lead the inning off and then a RBI single by #5 Sammy Elegreet (1-for-3 RBI) drove in Finch on a RBI Single. Guthrie then scored on a RBI ground-out by #12 Terrell Wall (0-for-4 RBI). That was all the Dragons could muster.
