Through the fourth inning, the Knights gained a 3-0 lead, scoring a pair in the second off an error and wild pitch, following by a Ben DeKruyf RBI single in the fourth. 

Ben Milewski started on the mound for the Orange & Black, tossing three scoreless innings with five strikeouts. Joey Ciero and Trevor Hurd relieved, limiting the opponent to a pair of runs off eight hits. Hurd pitched the final four frames to earn the win.
