Louisville's Ronnie Dawson started his day right where he left off in last night's affair when he kicked off the bottom of the second inning with a single. Mark Kolozsvary followed up with a single of his own, moving Dawson to third. Dawson then scored on an error by St. Paul's infield, giving the Bats an early lead of 1-0.

Ronnie Dawson quickly had an answer as he blasted a solo homer over the centerfield fence in the bottom of the fourth inning. This homer was his eighth of the season, additionally it was his third blast in the last two days. This shortened the Bats deficit to 3-2.
In the top of the fifth inning, Elliot Soto started with a single for St. Paul. Soto was moved to second with Michael Helman being walked. Caleb Hamilton would drive in Soto with a single to left field. This brought the Saints lead to 4-2.
Louisville posted three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, with Colin Moran, Ronnie Dawson, and Mark Kolozsvary each collecting an RBI, pushing the Bats' lead to 5-4.
