With the Pit Spitters ace Grant Garman on the mound, the team looked to get back in the win column after a couple of tough losses.

Isaac Sturgess grounded into a fielder's choice allowing Piasecki to score from third to give the Pit Spitters an early 1-0 lead. It was more of the same in the bottom of the second inning, when Adam Broski singled to center field to lead off. Hunter Herndon struggles at the plate were quieted during his first at-bat as he grounded out driving in Broski to extend the Pit Spitters lead to 2-0.

Pit Spitters offense picked him up in the bottom of the fifth inning with Brandon Sanchez and Aaron Piasecki hitting back-to-back singles. In the middle of Grady Mee's at-bat, Cole Edwards threw a wild pitch that allowing Sanchez to score to make it 3-0. Mee came through with a single to centerfield that scored Piasecki to push the Pit Spitters lead to 4-0. After another single for Rozman, Rivets called on Gus Allred for relief.

To put the cherry on top for the Pit Spitters, Cade Collins singled and scored Broski from second to give them an 8-0 lead.

The Rivets offense was quiet until this point of the ball game until Ny'zaiah Thompson led the top of the sixth inning with a walk. Jackson Forbes came through with a triple to right center field that plated Thomspon to cut the Pit Spitters lead to 8-1. A leadoff double and a hit by pitch put the Rivets in business almost instantly in the top of the seventh inning. Adison Worthman scored on a passed ball, to bring the Pit Spitters lead to 8-2.
