Despite 16 shots on goal, Evansville was unable to tie the game in the first period. The Thunderbolts dominated play in the second period, outshooting Birmingham 12-6, and were rewarded as Josh Adkins scored from Cameron Cook and Timothy Faulkner at 15:15 to tie the game. Evansville nearly took a 2-1 lead, however a goal by Brennan Feasey was waived off due to the shot being high-sticked into the net.

Adkins scored Evansville's lone goal, while Chris Janzen stopped 24 of 26 shots faced in his professional debut. Tonight was the last meeting of the regular season between the Thunderbolts and Birmingham Bulls.
