[BOX SCORE]

Decisive Plays: The Stripers broke a scoreless deadlock in the fourth inning when Jenista lined a pitch from Levi Stoudt into shallow left field to plate Rylan Bannon. The score held at 1-0 until Stephen Piscotty's RBI single off Jay Jackson (BS, 3, W, 2-0) tied the game in the top of the eighth. Jenista did it again in the bottom of the eighth, slapping a hard ground ball past the shortstop to score Bannon and put the Stripers back on top for good. Hendrik Clementina provided insurance with a two-run single later in the frame.
