The Mud Hens (13-9) scored first with one run in the second inning. Jeff Larish grounded out to start the frame, but back to back doubles by Jeff Frazier and Deik Scram gave Toledo a 1-0 lead. The Chiefs answered back in the top of the third scoring on a Josh Whitesell fielders choice ground ball.

Chiefs starting pitcher Jeff Mandel held the Mud Hens to one run through 5 1/3 innings surrendering four hits, walking two and striking out two. Chiefs pitchers would combine to hold Toledo scoreless again until the eighth inning.
