Then in the fourth inning, the Lions got three more runs to go up 5-0. Mike Wyman roped a double to left that scored Eddie Niemann, and then Trovinger got a two-run single to left to give the Lions a five-run lead.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Sailfish tied the game up at 2-2. But the seventh and eighth innings were huge for the Lions.
