The scoring continued in the second as the Buccaneers plated four runs, two of them coming on a double by Breyer Gayle.

The Bucs added two more runs to their tally as they tacked on single runs in the third and fourth on RBI singles by Shamon Moss and Breyer Gayle, to take a 7-0 lead.

In the fifth inning, the Bucs batted around for six runs on five hits, including RBI doubles by Jacob Taylor, Kevin Riley and Gerardo Ramirez.

In the top of the seventh, Team AOS finally managed to find their way onto the scoreboard, as they scratched across a run to make it 13-1.

The Bucs answered right back in the bottom of the seventh as Gerardo Ramirez socked his second RBI double of the contest to make it 14-1.

Three batters later, Joseph Morraele stepped up to the dish and deposited a 3-1 pitch over the left field wall for a two run home run, stretching the lead to 16-1.

Just for good measure, the Bucs put up four more runs in the eighth inning to tally an even 20 runs.

AOS showed some life in the ninth, scoring two runs on a two out RBI double. However, Buccaneer newcomer, Kohto Hasegawa, settled down and struck out the final AOS batter and put a merciful end to the rout.

Chris Ghosn earned the victory in relief, giving up one run on just two hits and striking out four in his four inning of work.

Diego Cortes started the game and pitched three spotless innings, allowing just one walk and retiring 9 of the 10 batters he faced.

As for the Buccaneer offense, it was a banner day as the Bucs collected 16 hits including 9 extra-base hits. Three of those extra-base hits came off the bat of Gerardo Ramirez who went 3-for-3 on the day with three runs scored and three runs batted in.
