After a scoreless 2nd inning by both teams Wellsboro added two more runs in the top of the 3rd. With two outs Hamblin reached on error then scored the next at bat as Adams singled to right field. Adams later scored on a grounder by Brought to push the lead to 6-0. Both teams would add a run in the 4th but Wellsboro's offense exploded again in the 5th for 5 more runs to put the game away.
