The Woodchucks then scored eight runs against Malcolm Grady and Krystien Johnson-Battilana in the bottom of the inning to lead the Bombers 8-1.

The Bombers managed to cut the deficit in the seventh inning. Second baseman Cody Sporrer led off the inning with a walk and shortstop Daniel Patzlaff followed with a walk. Catcher Jacob Blunt followed with a single to load the bases. Third baseman Ryan Dorow worked a bases-loaded walk to score Sporrer to give the Bombers their second run of the game.
