The Pirates added one more in the bottom half before Greer got out of a bases loaded jam.  With one out, Al Read and Mitts each singled.  Williams struck out for the second out of the inning.  The next batter also struck out for what would have been the last out of the game, however he reached safely on a passed ball.  Schonfeld then drew a bases loaded walk for the Pirates second run of the game.  Greer then got out of the inning with another strikeout.

With it tight for time, the game finished after six so Quyon could make the boat before it closed.
