Jerad Eickhoff started for the Indians allowing two hits and striking out four in 2 scoreless innings pitched. Nick Mears struck out a pair and allowed a run in 1 innings pitched. Cody Bolton and Travis MacGregor each pitched 2 scoreless, hitless innings of relief, combining to strike out three batters without issuing a walk.
Joe Jaques pitched the 8th inning, allowing 2 runs on four hits and a walk. Cam Vieaux took over in the 9th inning and pitched a scoreless inning. Vieaux allowed a solo home run in the 10th inning, but this was the lone hit he allowed in 2 innings pitched.
