The Highlanders responded in the bottom half of the third inning. Jack Stead drew a bases-loaded walk to bring home Sheehan O'Connor, putting the Highlanders on the board and trimming the deficit to five.

The Great Danes continued to add insurance runs in the sixth and seventh innings that pushed the lead to 8–1.
