After a walks to Aaron White and Riley Chaboyea with 2 outs, Aaron English stepped to the plate with the bases loaded. After fighting off pitch after pitch, English was able to connect on a double to left-center field to bring in May and White. Jaden Wood was able to draw a walk after English to load the bases for Chase Cobenais, who then cleared the bases on a single with the help of some defensive miscues. Chaboyea, English and Wood scored. Cobenais then scored on a Beaulieu triple. When the 4th inning finally came to a close, Red Lake had a comfortable 8-1 lead.

Tahahwah settled down to strike out 8 of the 13 batters he faced in 3 innings of work.
