Felix McLaurin drew a one-out walk and stole second base and went to third after Artie Wilson hit a single.
However, the umpires ruled that it was a fair ball, thereby making Steele out; the Barons played the rest of the game under protest, to no avail.
Two outs later, Cool Papa Bell lined a triple to center field that would score Gibson and Cannady to make it 6–1.
A sacrifice hit by Walter Cannady scored Hoskins to close out the Grays end of the bat.
Piper Davis would hit a two-out single to score in Wilson before Ted Radcliffe committed the final out to end the game.
Starter Roy Welmaker threw nine innings for the Grays and allowed three runs on eleven hits while striking out seven with one walk.
An error by Bankhead at shortstop meant that Piper Davis had gotten to first base with one out, and he made it to second on a passed ball by Josh Gibson.
Josh Gibson was walked on purpose and then stole second base, and Walter Cannady would score Leonard on a sacrifice fly to center field to make it 2-1 after seven.
A hit in the second inning by Ted Radcliffe was all that the Black Barons could muster against Ray Brown, who pitched a one-hitter shutout with three walks and five strikeouts.
The seventh proved no better for the Black Barons, who saw a single by Sam Bankhead eventually turn into a run after two wild pitches were thrown by the pitcher.
The Barons had trouble early with pitching that cost them dearly, as starter Alfred Saylor allowed four runs to score on seven hits with three walks before being replaced by Alonzo Boone with one out in the fourth inning.
