Tyler Beede earned the win after pitching two innings of one-run ball in relief. Duane Underwood Jr. and Wil Crowe earned holds and David Bednar shut the door on the first half of the with a scoreless ninth inning.

Offensively, Chavis and Newman led the way with three hits, while Delay and Jake Marisnick collected two hits each.
