Clayton Slack and Jake Mastillo added the other RBIs for the Green Bay offense, while Matt Scannell scored two runs after reaching base two times on walks.
Earning the win on the mound was Eli Frank, who pitched two innings of scoreless relief, as he gave up just two hits with one walk and three strikeouts while Jacob Young earned the save after pitching one inning and striking out two batters.
