Decisive Plays: Jacksonville scored the game's opening run in the first inning on a sacrifice fly from Joe Mack which was hit to shallow left field, scoring the speedy Jakob Marsee.

The score would remain at 4-1 the rest of the way.

Key Contributors: McCann (2-for-4, homer, 2 RBIs) hit a long-ball for the second time this series. Carlos Rodriguez (3-for-4) added his second three-hit game as a Striper.
