Wausau reclaimed the lead 2-1 in the following frame on a Collin Reuter groundout that scored Maurice Gomez.

The Woodchucks scored in the third straight inning with a pair of runs to enhance their lead to 4-1 a third of the way through the game. Chase Hug belted a triple off of the center field wall to score Zach Levenson before Hug then sprinted home on a wild pitch.

The visitors put the game away with a three-spot in the ninth inning to make it 8-2 on a bases-clearing double by Ryan Sepede that plated Abernathy, Watkins and Levenson.
