Bobo walked and Hugo was hit by a pitch which then put the bases loaded. The Dock spiders pitcher struggled to throw strikes and Shane Taylor was then walked to walk Basseer home.

Fond Du Lac got one back in the bottom half of the 5th as Luke Novitske drilled a ball into center field to send Paul Smith home. That was the only run in the night as the Rafters played exceptional defense. The Rats had 12 assists and 40 total catches. They played together as a team and got timely strikeouts when needed.
