Argenis Hernandez, who reached on a fielder's choice.
The score held until the bottom of the sixth when the Warriors tied the game as Chris Medina came in to score on a fielder's choice after leading off the inning with a single up the middle. However, the Lions quickly responded in the top of the seventh, retaking a 3-2 lead on
Axel Gomez two-out RBI single through the right side.
