Jeffrey Hirneisen (2-5) pitched 7 solid innings, walking only one batter and allowing only one earned run. Isaac Wier made a spectacular, potentially game-saving diving catch in centerfield in the final inning. Captain Jacob Faulkner had 3 hits and 2 stolen bases. Jason Plant, Lucas Wier and Alfred D'Ottavio added 2 hits each.
