After Lockhart needed just ten pitches to retire the Bats in the top of the third inning, the Hens went right back to work. A leadoff walk by Akil Baddoo and a single by Justyn-Henry Malloy gave Toledo two runners on-base with no outs in back-to-back innings. Jung clubbed a two-run double and moved to third base on the throw before scoring on a ground out by Anderson, pushing the lead to 5-1. Serven replicated his previous at bat, singling to centerfield and extending the Toledo lead to 6-1.

The completion of the third inning marked the end of the line for Petty, who allowed six runs on nine hits, one walk and five strikeouts over his 3.0 innings of work. He took the loss, falling to 6-12 on the season.

Toledo tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the fifth inning with a sacrifice fly by Brian Serven at 7-3.

Woo-Suk Go entered in the sixth inning for Toledo and danced around a one-out single by Vilade.

Go returned for the seventh inning, but a walk and a single put the righty in a jam. With one out in the inning, the Hens changed to Brant Hurter. Blake Dunn dropped a bunt and a run came home on an errant throw to make it 7-4. Go wound up earning the victory to move to 1-0.
