The Dawgs tied the game at four in the fourth inning on a fielder's choice and a double steal. The Storm scored two runs in the sixth and seventh innings to go ahead 8-4. The Dawgs batted around in the bottom of the seventh, scoring seven runs to take an 11-8 lead.

Harlos pitched the first six innings of the game. He gave up six unearned runs, five hits, fours walks and struck out three. Tyler Goff picked up the win in pitching the last three inning. Goff struck out six batters, walked two, and gave up two runs on four hits.
