Ty McDevitt came on in relief and allowed one earned run and struck out six. Kevin Kray allowed three earned runs.

Michael Handel singled and advanced to second on a stolen base. Bobby Juan singled to put runners on the corners, and Jake Bergren pinch hit and placed a perfect bunt down the third-base line as Canakes came home.
