Worcester tacked one on in the sixth on an RBI single from Daniel Polka.

In the eighth, Greg Allen was hit by a pitch to reach and immediately stole a base. Palka's single shot him home for a 5-0 advantage.

Both Elijah Dunham and Mickey Gasper recorded a pair of hits, but the RailRiders were shutout for the third time this season.

Ryan Weber tossed 5.1 innings on 84 pitches. The righty allowed four runs on eight hits. Barrett Loseke tossed an inning and a two-thirds clean. Michael Gomez gave up a run on one hit in the eighth.

Starter James Paxton did not let up a run over five and a third frames. He struck out eight and allowed just three base runners. Cam Booser pitched 1.2 innings not letting anything on his line. Joe Jacques and Chase Shugart each fired a scoreless frame.
