The visitors captured a 4-0 lead with four runs in the top of the ninth. Simpson roped a single to left with the bases-loaded to score Urena from third. Castrogiovanni, Basilis, and Simpson all crossed the dish as Anthony Esposito (Mount Royal, N.J.) reached on an error.

Briley Seiter (Bellevue, Ky.) tossed seven scoreless innings and fanned two batters in his fifth start of the season. Daniel Rivera (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) worked two innings of relief and posted three strikeouts in his sixth appearance out of the bullpen.
