The RailCats jumped out in front in the first with Danny Pulfer leading off with a triple. Drew Martinez then singled in Pulfer to make it 1-0 RailCats. Josh Romanski then singled to right to put runner at first and second. Then Ryan Babineau reached on a fielders choice that forced out Romanski at second. During the at bat of Jeremy Hamilton Ryan Babineau got caught in a rundown but was able to buy enough time for Martinez to score from third to make it 2-0.
The RaiCats went 1-2-3 in the next inning but it was the quiet before the storm as the RailCats scored and scored often over the next three innings. In the third still facing starter Anthony Capra the RailCats came alive with two outs.

It was the first homerun for Romanski and the first for the Cats since May 17th at St. Paul. Jeremy Hamilton added another run in the inning with an RBI single scoring Ryan Babineau who singled in front of him to up the lead to 5-0.
The RailCats would then score four more in the fourth highlighted by a pair of bases loaded walks by Danny Pulfer and Ryan Babineau off of Capra to force the Wingnuts ace from the game. The RailCats were not done adding another six in the fifth inning off of Wichita reliever Matt Robertson with Babineau and Romanski again providing highlights with RBI singles.
