Michell Miliano was first out of the bullpen, striking out two in 2 hitless, scoreless innings pitched. Lefty Cy Nielson allowed two hits and struck a batter out in 2 scoreless innings of his own. After this, the Grasshopper bullpen would run into trouble.

Jake Stevenson then took over for Thibo. On the first pitch he threw Stevenson allowed a walk off sacrifice fly to end the game.
