Garrabrants would score in the inning after advancing to third on a Brooks single and then scoring on a Jon Zeringue sacrifice. In the eighth, Brooks scored the team's fifth run after singling with one out and eventually scoring on an error. The Redfish scored two runs in the sixth and one in the eight but never got closer than two runs down.
