Ian Riley crossed home plate on a Sam Petersen RBI double to open up the scoring in the bottom of the first.
Bristol tied the game up in the top of the second inning on a passed ball.

The other run came on a Corbin Shaw RBI single which scored Petersen. Riley is now on a 16-game on-base streak and Anderson is on an 18-game on-base streak.
