Royal Valley would get one run back in the third, off an RBI double from Travis Burget. Frankfort then answered with two runs of their own in the third. Things will start to open up score wise in the fourth as Frankfort had five two-out hits to score three-runs in the fourth, sparked by the two-RBI triple, from Brett Burdiek. Royal Valley went on to score two runs of a pair of doubles in the fifth from Zack Lux and Burget (his second RBI double of the game).
