Nick Webber (2-1) picked up the win for the Cardinals and Hudson Valleys Greg Reinhard (1-2) took the loss.

The Cardinals scored the first run of the game in the 2nd inning when Brandon Yarbrough singled to lead off the inning and scored on an Adam Morris sac fly to right. Both offenses were then held scoreless until the 7th inning when Rodgers and Morris, collegiate teammates at Rice University, hit home runs to left field. Their home runs also came on consecutive pitches off of Renegades pitcher Willy Corporan
