This victory was part of a series that will see a deciding game on Friday. Key players included Ethan Russel with a win pitching 5 innings and 6 strikeouts, and notable performances by Brody Schumaker (2-3), Ben Finnegan (2-4), Logan DeGroot (3-4, 2 RBI), Blake Ankrum (2-3, 2 RBI), Jake Lavin (2-3, 3 RBI), and Carter Enoch (3-5, 3 RBI).
