Led by a first inning grand slam from Louie Templeton Calgary took the early lead and in the seventh they used a Justin Tellam three-run double for some much needed insurance. Mike Burns was brilliant out of the bullpen for the Snakes retiring all nine batters he faced while Garret Holleran (3-5) took the win after striking out six batters in his five innings. Claudio Galva (13) recorded the save by collecting the final two outs of the game while Corey Hales (2-2) took the loss after allowing five runs in five frames.
