In the top of the 5th, Log-Rog had 2 consecutive 1 out singles then grounded into an out. With 2 outs and a 3-2 lead, Bolivar was unable to get a stop. After an intentional walk, consecutive opportunities to end the inning with the lead came up empty. These missed opportunities led to 3 more runs and Bolivar trailed 5-3.
