Two batters later Matt Pagnozzi drove in two more runs with a single to cap the five-run rally. Craig finished the night 3-for-4 with two RBI to lead the Redbirds. Greene and Pagnozzi each had two hits and two RBI. Jason Repko provided all the offense for Albuquerque with a pair of home runs in the loss.

Redbirds reliever Royce Ring picked up the win with one perfect inning of relief. Jess Todd earned his 12th save of the year with a scoreless ninth inning. Albuquerque reliever Henry Bonilla took the loss after allowing three runs on three hits without registering an out in the eighth inning.
