Both teams scored 4 runs in the next 2 innings to keep the game tied at 9.
In the top of the 6th an Ortiz singled to right to scored McBride to take a one run lead into the bottom of the 6th but the Minutemen refused to go away scoring 2 of their own in the bottom of the frame to take a 1 run lead. The Knight's answered the bell scoring 6 more runs in the 7th to take a 16-11 lead and secure the Knight's 7th straight victory.
