The Stone Crabs offense erupted again in the bottom of the fifth as they sent eleven hitters to the plate in another five run inning. The inning started with a triple to left by Goetzman. He scored on a sac fly by Querecuto. Marjama and Blair followed with back to back single to put runners on the bases for Maxx Tissenbaum who cleared them with a triple to center. Tissenbaum would score on an errant throw to third. But the bases wouldn’t remain empty long as Yoel Araujo drew a walk followed by single to Gantt. Another run scored on a single by Kean Wong.
