The final 3.1 innings of the ball game would see good performances on the mound by both Joey White and Thomas Burke, who each went 1.2 innings of work. They both did not allow a run across in their appearances, including Burke getting out of a bases-leaded jam by forcing a double play ball on the first batter he faced.

On the night, Herrholz would pace with his three RBIs, while Josh Tate secured his third straight multi-hit game with his two on the evening.
