The Fisher Cats could not wake up their bats for an 11:00 am game. Steward Berroa had a hit and a walk but was caught stealing. Miguel Hiraldo, Leo Jiménez and Sebastian Espino had the other singles. Damiano Palmegiani drew a walk but Orelvis Martinez wore the 0-for-4 collar. Paxton Schultz put up a four in the hit, runs, earned runs, walks and strikeouts columns over five innings to take the loss. His groundout/flyout total was 5-4. Alejandro Melean pitched two shutout frames with two walks to lower his ERA to 3.14. Hagen Danner worked around a hit and a walk and had a strikeout in a scoreless ninth.

Peyton Williams had an RBI double and RBI single to nudge his batting average to .203. Tucker Toman was 2-for-3 with a walk and Roque Salinas had two hits. Sammy Hernández had a run-scoring triple. Kendry Rojas gave up three runs (two earned) on four innings but punched out nine for the win. Ryan Chasse stranded the bases loaded for Ian Churcill with a game-ending whiff for the save.
