Zane Morehouse allowed a run over an inning pitched while striking out two. Steven Pérez tossed a scoreless inning and two-thirds. Tyler Thornton and Matt Jachec each worked scoreless frames.

Jonah Advincula doubled later in the eighth to bring home Lipscomb and make it 7-1 Richmond. In the ninth, Kahlil Watson tripled off the batter's eye in center field with two outs before coming home on Jorge Burgos' infield single to make it 7-2 Flying Squirrels.
