The A's opened the game with a 4-run rally. The A's collected 5 hits in the inning, including a 2-run double by Ashton Raines and an RBI double by Greyson Nelson. In the bottom of the inning, Michael Solomon hit a 2-out double for the Marlins but was stranded on second.

In the second inning, the Marlins cut the A's lead in half by holding the A's scoreless and then scoring 2 runs. William Manganiello doubled in the Marlins first run, and Matt Divis drove in the other with a 2-out single.

The A's got back on the board in the third plating 6 runs. Daniel Enterlin and Greyson Nelson led the rally each chipping in a 2-run double. In the bottom half of the third, the Marlins got their final run of the game. Eli Avart opened the inning with a single. Daniel Enterlin then made an incredible sliding catch to rob Corey Hansen of a hit. Michael Solomon drove in Avart with another double before the A's retired the next two Marlins to end the inning.

The 4th and 5th innings were highlighted by strong pitching performances from both teams. Marlins William Manganiello pitched two innings striking out 6 and allowing only one base runner. For the A's, pitchers Ashton Raines (3 K) and Calvin Samson (2 K) each pitched a scoreless inning.

In the 6th inning, the A's scored two final runs. Daniel Enterlin hit his second double of the game. Calvin Samson and Jeff Gregg contributed RBI singles in the inning. A's sidearm hurler Sam Naismith pitched the final half inning.  Naismith gave up no runs to give the A's their 5th consecutive win of the season.

The A's offense was led by Daniel Enterlin (3-3, 2 2B, 3 R, 3 RBI),  Ashton Raines (3-3, 2 2B, 2 R, 2 RBI), and Greyson Nelson (2-2, 2 2B, 3 RBI). For the Marlins, Michael Solomon (3-3, 2 2B, 1 RBI) and William Manganiello (1-2, 1 2B, 1 R, 1 RBI) were key contributors.
