The Bees would eventually get on the board in the seventh, scoring a pair of runs thanks to a wild pitch and an Ayendy Perez ground out, cutting the deficit to 5-2. The Bees could not climb any closer as Jacob Dorris shut the Bees down in the eighth and the ninth innings.

Quad Cities' starting pitcher, Dean Deetz (4-1) pitched five shutout innings, earning the win while Bees' starter Keynan Middleton (5-11) was charged with the loss. Jacob Dorris (1) earned the save, throwing 2.2 scoreless innings.
