  • Palm Beach Atlantic added a run in each the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings with another run walked in, an RBI double down the left-field line, and a one-out sacrifice fly to centerfield that plated the Sailfish's tenth run. 
  • In the top of the ninth, Donofrio led the inning off by working a full count and sending a pitch deep to left-center field for his second homer of the day and the Tritons' seventh run.
