The RBI for Curry gave the Dust Devils a 4-1 lead and they added another one later in the inning when Grant Little doubled scoring Curry to make it a 5-1 advantage for Tri-City.

Boise put another run on the board in the 5th inning. After LeeMarcus Boyd reached base on an error, Terrin Vavra singled up the middle and the Hawks made it just a 5-2 lead for Tri-City.

Hawks starter Pearson McMahan finishes the evening going five innings, allowing five earned runs. Mike Bunal came on and after throwing two innings of scoreless baseball, the right-hander gave up a two-run home run to Blake Hunt in the 8th inning and the Dust Devils led 7-2.
