With the win, Richmond's record improves to 2-4 after taking two of three from the Wild Things. Washington's record falls to 3-3.

The score remained tied at zero through four innings. But in the top of the fifth, Richmond's Adam Patterson singled, and catcher Blair Bourque followed with a two-run homerun off of Washington's starter Jory Coughenour. One batter later, Josh Hollingsworth hit a solo homerun to left field, giving Richmond a 3-0 lead.
