Brooklyn posted another run in the fourth. Joe Bonfe singled to third, then advanced all the way to third base on a throwing error. Bonfe would then score on a ground ball by James Schroeder to increase the lead to 4-0.
The Cyclones offense struck again in the fifth and this time it was another two run triple by Flagg. The additional runs gave them a commanding 6-0 lead.
The Renegades finally reached the scoreboard in the sixth inning. Derek Dietrich reached on a force out, then advanced to third on a double by Nicholas Schwaner.

The Renegades added two more runs in the ninth. Schwaner delivered a two run homer that gave them their final two runs of the game as they took the 16-5 loss.
