Ronan Hella, in his final start for the team, pitched seven innings for the win, he allowed two runs (one earned) while striking out seven and allowing five walks. Dylan Novotny and Michael Simien combined for two scoreless innings of relief.
At the plate Jackson Yeager clubbed his third home run of the year while Luke Noack and Francisco Laya each produced two hit games.
