In what was a back-and-forth game, Branson Gans pitched one inning in relief of starting pitcher Crawley for the win.

Crawley allowed four earned runs on eight hits in six innings work, while striking out four.

Kadle pitched the win in the opener, allowing four hits and striking out six in a complete game.

He was also instrumental at the plate, finishing with a pair of hits, while Dylan McNeill was 2-for-3 with a double and Crawley 1-for-4 with a double.
