For his second RBI in back-to-back games this series, Sam Mongelli singled along the right line to send Joe Emerson home and wipe the zero off the board. Emerson got into scoring position after he capitalized on a double through right field and stole third off a wild pitch to Mongelli.

Relievers Jack Kramer and Owen MacDonnell tidied up the innings with three quick outs in the fourth and fifth innings. First-year pitcher MacDonnell was the first pitcher in four at bats to strikeout the Owls lead-off batter.
