The Lookouts briefly retook the lead after a solo home run from Leo Balcazar, but Garrett Spain's second career grand slam made it 7-4. Raúl Alcantara (2-1) earned the win while Easton Sikorski (1-1) took the loss. Travis MacGregor tossed a clean seventh with a strikeout, earning his first save in the Brewers organization.

The Shuckers fought back and tied the game with an RBI infield single from Luis Lara in the fourth and an RBI single into center from Eduardo Garcia in the sixth. In the seventh, Cooper Pratt recorded his second career walk-off hit with an RBI double to left, scoring Jheremy Vargas from second for the win.
