The Rascals began the scoring with a fielder's choice to center off the bat of left fielder Kirk McConnell. In the 2nd, Rascals 3rd baseman Wes Hutchison came home on Mike Conner's 2-run homer. Hutchison made his first start as a non-pitcher this year. He leads the team in relief appearances with 29. He finished with a pair of doubles and runs scored.
