After Villalona's two-run homerun in the top of the first gave Roxbury an early advantage, the Broncos answered back with 11 unanswered runs over the next two innings, denting home plate five times in the bottom of the first, and six more in the second.

The key run-producing hit in the bottom of the first came off of the bat of Espinoza, as his three-run triple gave drove home three runs, with Espinoza also scoring when centerfielder Michael Arias' throw to third was wide of the bag.

In the bottom of the second, a pair of two-RBI singles by Whitcomb and Adrian Pena highlighted Bronx's scoring barrage in the frame. After two innings of play, Bronx led 11-2.

The Tigers inched a run closer in the top of the fourth via a RBI single by Villalona, but later, in the bottom of the fifth, the Broncos tacked on three more runs (highlighted by RBI walks by Justin Rosario Cruz and Whitcomb) to take a commanding 14-3 advantage.

Bronx led 17-6 after six innings of play, before Roxbury put together a ferocious rally, scoring nine combined runs against Broncos reliever Anshel Novelo and Justin Martinez to incredibly pull to within two runs, 17-15.

Marbel Soriano and Yoldi Soriano each registered two RBI singles in the top of the first. Michael Arias earned a sacrifice fly, and Villalona capped the scoring for the inning with a RBI single to right field.

After the Broncos got two of those runs in the bottom of the first via RBI singles by Whitcomb and Torres, Roxbury plated eight more in the second, highlighted by RBI singles by Arias and Flores, a two-RBI single by Marbel Soriano, and a RBI double by Willy Lara.

In the bottom of the second, the Broncos scored four runs in a scoring barrage that was highlighted by a two-RBI single by Genao, and a run-producing single by Rosario Cruz. After two frames, Roxbury led 15-6.
