Fort Worth took the lead for good in the eighth inning when Kelley Gulledge was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Dustin Cameron again sat the Diablos down in order in the ninth to preserve the Cats' win.

David Whigham made the start and looked like his old self again as he pitched into the seventh inning while allowing four runs on eight hits and four strike outs.
