Fast forward to the 6th inning and the Dash have a 9=1 lead, even after having CF Terrell Tatum ejected after fussing with the umpire after being called out after a out stealing second. Its now the bottom of the 6th with the Drive coming to bat. The Drive get a walk and its Bonaci on first with Jordan up to bat, and he strikes out but Gonzlez comes up and hits a triple and the Drive get a score with one out and its 9-2 with a runner on 3rd. The Drive get three more runs but it was not enough as the Dash beat the Drive 9-5 in front of the largest crowd at a Drive Game!
FINAL: Dash 9, Drive 5
