The Barnstormers opened the scoring on a leadoff solo home run by Lance Zawadzki in the bottom of the first off Ducks starter John Brownell. A two-run homer to left by Cole Garner in the third increased the lead to 3-0.
Long Island pulled to within one on single runs in the fifth and sixth off Barnstormers starter Mark Rogers. A RBI triple by Fehlandt Lentini and a balk that scored Lew Ford highlighted the scoring. Ford tied the game in the seventh with a two-out RBI single to left.
