Ethan Straub relieved Wilcox, going 1 2/3 innings pitched, striking out 1 batter and allowing 1 earned run. The team's bats were hot early on by getting an early 5 run lead before Corning was able to get on the board. Hunter Holliday went 1-2 at the plate with 2 runs scored and driving in a pair of RBI's with a triple. Joshua Navarra also tallied a triple and 1 RBI, while going 1-2 at the plate as well.

Game 2 of the series went in the Red Barons favor, with a final score of 4-5. William Sanborn had a solid game at the plate, going 3-4 with 1 triple and adding an RBI to his resume.
