The Poets got on the scoreboard first, with Martin's solo home run in
the bottom of the first. Greensboro answered back with a run to
tie the score in the top half of the third inning and took the lead with
another run in the sixth. The score was 2-2 going into the eighth
inning, when Greensboro added two runs in the top half, followed by the
Poets taking a 5-4 lead with three runs in the bottom of the eighth.
In the top of the ninth, the Poets walked the bases loaded and hit a
batter to bring home the tying run. Two fielding errors brought
home two more runs for Greensboro to give them a 7-5 lead. Looking
for a final inning rally, the Poets left two men on base in the ninth
inning. Whittier left 12 men on the base paths in the game.
