Gary would answer in the second with a solo home run from second baseman Thomas Wallraven.
Milwaukee reclaimed the lead in the sixth off a sac fly from Dan Ward to score Garrett Copeland.
Gary would tie the game in the eighth, but the Milkmen would answer back and take the lead in the eighth with a no doubter by Dan Ward.
Going into the ninth, Milwaukee surrendered 2 home runs and couldn't return in the bottom of the inning. Milwaukee would have 10 hits and leave 10 men on.
