But the Rox got three runs over the seventh and eighth innings to take a 4-1 lead that, after Rox closer Ryan Burnau retired the side in the ninth, became the final score. Brockton starting pitcher Mike McTamney pitched six impressive innings with one run allowed on five hits with seven strikeouts, but did not factor in the decision.
