Landen Bourassa, the starter for the Goldeyes, retired the first 18 batters he faced. In the top of the seventh, Chad Smith hustled himself into a double after he became the first 'Cats to get on board. He would get moved to third after a bunt from Gio Diaz, and with a 3-2 count and two outs, Del Valle singled into center and the RailCats took a 1-0 advantage.

Peyton Long went seven scoreless innings, scattered three hits, struck out three, and for the second time in a row he didn't walk a batter. Josh Smith tossed a scoreless frame and bridged it to Nate Alexander. Alexander left no drama, and the side was retired to give the RailCats the 1-0 win.
