The Senators would not strike again until the seventh inning when Thunder reliever, Pat Venditte replaced starter Craig Heyer. Trailing 2-1, Jonathan Tucker singled for the Senators, and advanced to second base on a balk. Lombardozzi singled, and Josh Johnson doubled, scoring both runners and giving the Senators a 3-2 lead.
