Phillip Irwin (1-2) took the loss in his last start of the 2009 season, going three innings and allowing a run on two hits and a walk while striking out two.

Mahoning Valley starter Brett Brach (5-2) earned the win after throwing six innings of three-hit ball and striking out five Spikes batters. Tyler Sturdevant (3) earned the save with three innings of hitless relief to finish the game.
