Both teams come out swinging in the first inning as Greenville gets on the board first with two runs in the first inning, not to be outdone the Asheville gets two on the board also as we have a 2-2 ballgame heading into the second inning. The game stays tied till the 4th inning when Greenville scores two more runs and takes the lead 4-2. Yet, the Tourist get two runs also in the bottom of the fourth inning and its all tied up 4-4 going into the fifth inning. Once in the fifth Greenville gets two more runs and goes back into the lead 6-4, but the runs keep coming as Greenville gets 3 more runs making it 9-4 in the fifth. The Drive keep them coming with yet another score and now its 10-4 with two outs still. The Drive will get yet another run before the end of the inning and its 11-4 as Asheville finally gets out of the inning and the Drive hope to set it on cruise control after a seven-run inning.
