The Captains took the lead in the fourth inning as shortstop Jose Salazar, playing in his fourth game in a Shreveport-Bossier uniform, singled home Kevin Griffin for a 2-1 advantage. They added two more runs in the inning on White's two-run single. Christopher Garcia chased Cats' starter Ryan Trytten from the game with a broken-bat RBI single to center to make it 5-1 in the fourth.
Trailing 5-1 in the seventh, Fort Worth took advantage of two errors at the start of the inning and scored a run on a Ryan Patterson sacrifice fly. They would bring the tying run to the plate in the seventh, but could not get another run across.
Shreveport-Bossier added to its lead in the bottom of the seventh as a run came home to score on a throwing error by Cameron Blair. They made it 7-2 on an RBI single by BJ Wheeler.
