The Dollywood Partons polished off the Long Beach Keys by the score of 14-4. The largest share of the credit belonged to shortstop Angelo de la Cruz. de la Cruz went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 5 for the Partons. Sean Hill picked up the win, lifting his record to 3-0 on the season. He struck out 8 and walked 0 in 6.2 innings, while yielding 3 runs. Now 4-23, the 2025 Keys have been dreadful.

With Dollywood leading 1-0 in the top of the second, de la Cruz came up to bat against Long Beach pitcher Katsumasa Nakatsu. de la Cruz hit a knuckle curve to left for a 3-run home run. His 3rd home run of the season put the Partons on top, 4-0.

"No one likes losing," said Long Beach manager Ron Kunkleman. "But we'll turn this thing around."
