With Steve Johnson pitching in a bases loaded jam, ValleyCats Ricky Gingras would come to the plate. Gringas reached on a walk which allowed ValleyCats center fielder Bobby Boyd to score.

The IronBirds would respond quickly with two runs of their own in the top of the third inning to make it a 2-1 game.
