Alex Gunn began on the mound for the RailCats in his first start of the season. Gunn, whose previous season-long outing was 2.1 innings, made it four innings surrendering just two hits while striking out five.

Herron continued his impressive season by going eight strong innings. He allowed just four hits while striking out eleven batters. The RailCats pushed across a run in the 8th inning, the first allowed by Herron on the season.

The RedHawks weren't done, though. They added an insurance run off of reliever Andy Roberts in the 9th. They used singles by KD Kang and Brian Humphries to get in scoring position before a Kes Carter sacrifice fly scored the run.
