The Panthers (24-16) scored quickly in the bottom of the first inning as a pass ball followed by an errant throw to third allowed Lane Kennemore to score. The Dragons (28-15) tied the game and took the lead with a three-run top of the third inning.
 
Burke answered in the bottom half of the inning with a solo-homerun over the leftfield fence. The homerun stands as the 52^nd of his career and 191^st career RBIs, both G-MAC records. Burke then tied the game in the bottom of the fifth as he drove-in Cody Bridges who got on base with a one-out single followed by a stolen base.
