Brenan Hanifee replaced Montero after five solid innings, achieving two strikeouts. Torkelson walked, and Jung hit another home run, sending the ball to right field, where a fan caught it. The Mud Hens were now leading by eight.

In the eighth inning, Alex Lange took over for Hanifee, securing a strikeout and a catch by Meadows in center field. After walks by Meadows and Jung, Dingler singled, loading the bases. Ryan Vilade hit a line drive in the gap, bringing in Meadows and maintaining the eight-run lead.

The ninth inning saw Lange strike out a Storm Chaser. A pop fly to Bigbie in right field was caught, and Navigato's throw to Torkelson for the final out sealed the victory for the Mud Hens.
