The win went to Bret Strickland (2-1) as he worked one inning in relief, setting the side down in order. The save went to Andrew Johnston (7) as he worked a perfect ninth.
Great Falls scored first in the game in the third inning on a Matt Tribble RBI hit to center. It marked the 13th straight game that Tribble has hit in for the Sox and it gave them a 1-0 lead.
