Dominic Keegan brought in the first run of the game on a sacrifice fly, one of three RBI he recorded. Mason Auer notched a two-out, two-run triple to cap a three-run first inning. Auer went on to go for 4-for-5 in his best offensive night of the season.

In the sixth, Nick Schnell lifted his fourth homer of the season to right field to extend the lead to 11-1. Montgomery tallied six more runs in the seventh. Bob Seymour finished with three hits and five RBI on the night. Seymour has 10 hits and seven RBI in the series.
