The ThunderBolts added an insurance run in the seventh inning. Richards reached on an error, stole second, made it to third on a wild pitch and stole home when Rob Calabrese got himself in a rundown.

With two outs, Isaacson and Strunc singled in front of Richards, who knocked home Isaacson with a hit. Calabrese followed with an RBI single that made the final score 6-4.
