The Rascals moved ahead in the fourth as Josh Silver singled and scored on a Braxton Martinez double. Jimmy Kerrigan hit a two-run homer in the fifth to increase the lead to three. A three-run rally in the sixth inning put the game away for River City. Thomas picked up a two-run single and Johnny Morales singled home one more to make the score 7-1. The Bolts added one more run with two outs in the ninth. Kyle Wood hit a towering blast over the right field wall for his first home run of the year, cutting the final score to 7-2.
