2017 Jesse Heikkinen led off the top of the sixth inning with a double and came around to score on a RBI single by Jones that tied the game up at 2-2.

The score remained tied until the top of the tenth inning when Heikkinen broke the deadlock with a two run double to right center. 2018 Spencer Baldwin and 2017 Dan Clark each added RBI singles in the inning to complete the scoring for Holt.

Heikkinen earned the win in relief, throwing 3.1 scoreless innings, allowing one hit while striking out four.
