For the fourth time in the series, Oklahoma City got on the board in the first inning, jumping ahead 3-0. Hyeseong Kim led off with a single that was followed by a stolen base before Alex Freeland drove him in.
Ryan Ward followed with a two-run homer to right to cap the three-run opening frame. The Salt Lake bats answered immediately in the second with a leadoff double by Niko Kavadas before Carter Kieboom launched a two-run homer to left to quickly cut the deficit to 3-2. Gustavo Campero then chopped an infield single to tie the game and match the Comets' three-run first with three of its own. The Bees' bullpen — Endrys Briceño and Michael Darrell-Hicks — kept the game within reach, but a solo homer from Alex Freeland in the seventh stretched OKC’s lead to 5-3. Salt Lake began to rally in the ninth as the Bees trailed by two with one final chance. Yolmer Sánchez and Matthew Lugo led off with back-to-back singles, putting the tying runs aboard. A crushing double play off the bat of Niko Kavadas nearly extinguished the rally, but a throwing error by the pitcher allowed Sánchez to score, pulling the Bees within 5-4. Pinch-runner Zach Humphreys stood at second as the tying run, but Chad Stevens grounded out sharply to third to end the game as Salt Lake lost its third game of the series by three runs or less.
