He pitched 6 innings and scattered 5 hits. He allowed 2 runs while not allowing a walk and striking out 2. Michael Peoples followed DeJesus and was just as good. He worked 2 innings without allowing a hit or a run. He walked 1 and struck out 2. Cody Penny then worked a perfect 1-2-3 top of the 9th inning to pick up his 2nd save of the year. He closed out the game by striking out the side.

The Scrappers trailed the Cyclones 2-1 going into the bottom of the 8th inning. The first two hitters were retired in order by Cyclones reliever David Wynn. The Joe Wendle delivered his 3rd hit of the game, a single, to put the tying run aboard. Sever followed, and was not interested in tying the game.
