Brock Wilken then demolished his team-leading sixth home run of the year to begin the fourth, making it 8-0. The Shuckers made it 10-0 in the sixth with a sacrifice fly from Zavier Warren and an RBI groundout from Ethan Murray.

On the mound, Coleman Crow starred in his fourth start of the season, striking out eight over 4.2 shutout innings and allowing two hits. Of his eight strikeouts, six came on his curveball.

In game two, the Shuckers fell behind 1-0 in the first after an RBI double from Nathan Martorella, but struck back in the bottom half with an RBI single from Brock Wilken. Two batters later, Darrien Miller singled into right and an error on the play allowed Wilken to score from third, giving the Shuckers a 2-1 lead. The lead extended to 3-1 later in the inning with an RBI single from Garrett Spain. The Shuckers also saw 49 pitches during the eight-batter first inning. In the fourth, Garrett Spain recorded the Shuckers' league-leading 30 th home run of the season, a solo shot to right.

Abdiel Mendoza (1-2) earned the win after 5.0 innings of one-run ball while Evan Fitterer (2-2) took the loss.
