On Friday, the Storm Chasers' first six batters of the game collected hits as Omaha went on to build a quick 5-0 lead in the first inning. Bubba Starling and Jorge Soler hit back-to-back RBI singles before Ryan O'Hearn hit a three-run homer to left-center field.

A sacrifice fly by Raul Mondesi brought home Gore for a 7-4 advantage. A two-run double by O'Hearn and RBI single by Cam Gallagher extended the Storm Chasers to a 10-4 lead. O'Hearn finished the night with five RBI.
The Dodgers loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth with none out and a run scored when Charlie Culberson grounded into a double play to cut Omaha's lead to 10-5.
Muncy singled into right field with two outs in the fifth inning as he finished with a team-best three hits. Drew Maggi tried to score from second base, but was thrown out at the plate to keep Omaha's lead at five runs.
The Storm Chasers drew three straight walks with one out in the seventh inning to load the bases, but the Dodgers kept Omaha from adding to its lead. Mondesi hit a grounder to first base and Dean Anna was forced out at home plate for the second out. After an Oklahoma City pitching change, Madison Younginer got Starling to strike out to end the inning with the bases loaded.
The Dodgers brought the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning.
