The Fisher Cats (64-44) scored the first run of the game in the top of the fourth inning.

He moved to third on a ground out by Adeiny Hechavarria and scored on a single by Eric Thames (2-for-4, RBI) to make it 1-0.

Trenton (64-43) came back to tie it in the bottom of the inning as Matt Cusick singled home Daniel Brewer from second after he had reached on a fielders choice.

Seven consecutive Fisher Cats reached in the top of the sixth inning. Adam Loewen walked, Thames singled and Bowman homered to make it 4-1. After David Cooper walked and Matt Liuzza was hit by a pitch, Brian Jeroloman doubled to make it 5-1. Jonathan Diaz then singled home Liuzza for a 6-1 lead, ending the evening for the Trenton starter.

Brackman (2-6) allowed six runs in 5.1 innings on seven hits. He walked two and struck out four.

The final 11 Trenton batters to come to the plate made outs. Danny Farquhar, who followed LaMura, worked three perfect innings to earn his 16th save.
