Adam Dorn came up next and hit another base runner home on a single to center, putting LC up 3-1.  With a runner on third and first, Gabriel Pallo placed a bunt down the third baseline just far enough for him to make it to first before getting thrown out and allowing another runner to score. LC would extend their lead to 5-1 after a wild throw let a Panther walk home. The Panthers ended the first up 6-1 thanks to a sacrifice RBI from Noah Preuer to close out the scoring this inning.
