Albuquerque 1B Keston Hiura kicked things off with a solo home run in the bottom of the second for a 1-0 advantage.

The Isotopes plated three more runs on four hits in the third. CF Braiden Ward led off with a double and later scored on a DH Blaine Crim single up the middle. Hiura followed with a base hit and LF Sean Bouchard drove the two in with his single into center. Albuquerque took an early 4-0 edge.

Round Rock then stole the lead with a five-run fourth inning. 1B Justin Foscue and 3B Alan Trejo started the scoring with RBI singles. With the bases juiced, SS Richie Martin grounded into a force out that allowed RF Abimelec Ortiz to come home from third. DH Cooper Johnson capped it off with his go-ahead two-run single and the Express had a 5-4 lead.

In the top of the fifth, Round Rock CF Dustin Harris led off with a solo home run and the Express led 6-4.

Albuquerque RF Zac Veen responded with a home run in the bottom of the frame and the Isotopes trailed by one.

The Isotopes retook the lead in the seventh with a 2B Adael Amador RBI single and a sacrifice fly from Hiura.

In the eighth, Albuquerque 3B Aaron Schunk recorded a solo homer and Amador drove two more in with his double down the right field line for a 10-6 Isotopes lead that stood final.
