They then made it 4-3 later in the fifth with a RBI-single by Morrow to bring Swift home.

Another three-run inning in the bottom of the sixth gave the Crusaders a 7-3 advantage. CTX chiseled away at the lead once again when Sanchez Jr. put a ball in play to score Seigrist from third for a 7-4 score going into the eighth.
