Kenny Koplove was first out of the bullpen for the Cutters as he worked two scoreless innings while helping swing some momentum to his team's side. Andrew Godail followed by working a scoreless seventh inning. The Cutters would string together some offense in the sixth and seventh innings picking up a run in each.

Andrew Amaro lead off the sixth inning with his first double of the season to give the Cutters a runner in scoring position. Amaro moved over to third base on a ground out and would score on a sacrifice fly from Mark laird to make it 4-1. In the seventh inning Jesus Posso socred Venn Biter from third base on an RBI groundout to second base to cut the IronBirds lead to 4-2. Biter reached base on a throwing error from the Aberdeen Shortstop. Jacob Waguespack worked a scoreless eighth inning in his second appearance but the rally would be too late for the Cutters in the end.
