Every position player for Jacksonville ended up with at least one hit, including six players with multi-hit games as the team totaled 15. The Suns assault of Ortega started in the first. Yefri Perez and James Roberts each hit safely, Moises Sierra got hit by a pitch, and Brian Anderson broke it open with a two-RBI-single. After a Ronnie Mitchell walk and Garrett Weber reaching safely on an error by opposing shortstop Angel Ortega, Francisco Arcia followed with a two-RBI double to make it 5-0.

The carnage didn't stop there for Ortega, who started the second by giving up a single to James Roberts and a double to JT Riddle, followed by a Moises Sierra two-RBI single before getting replaced by Gage Smith. He allowed an RBI-double to Ronnie Mitchell to make it 8-0.

The score would remain the same until the bottom of the eighth, when Biloxi finally got on the board with a Tyrone Taylor RBI-single. The Suns reestablished their eight-run lead in their half of the ninth on a Ronnie Mitchell RBI-single.
