The inning's first run scored on a wild pitch.
Ryan Palmer drove in the other with a fly ball.
Peoria added another run in the fourth, as this time its first four batters reached base on three singles and an intentional wal.
The single, from Luke Madden, scored the run which made it 3-0.

It's lead now 4-1, Clay struck again with another solo homer, this one off Andres Hernandez, with one out in the seventh to make it 5-1.
