South Bend scored three runs in the top of the ninth to knock off the Snappers in a game that was delayed an hour and seventeen minutes due to rain. Beloit's starter, Eduardo Morlan, was unhittable through four innings but hit a wall in the fifth and sixth. South Bend's Ricardo Sosa started the fifth inning with a single, followed by another single by catcher Frank Curreri. Both runners scored on a two-out single by leadoff man Pedro Ciriaco. The Silver Hawks added another run in the sixth when Justin Upton walked, moved to second on a wild-pitch and scored when Trey Hendricks dumped a single into left field that was misplayed by Tarrence Patterson.

They added single tallies in the fourth and fifth as well. Henry Sanchez doubled and scored on a double by Caleb Moore in the fourth. Andrew Thompson singled, one of his three hits, and scored on a single by Erik Lis in the fifth, raising his team-leading RBI total to thirty-three.
