In the top of the first, SS Jecksson Flores *made a diving play up the middle to save a run, but that would go for naught as the next hitter singled to right field to score the first run of the game.

The Rochester Red Wings found themselves in a 4-0 deficit in the top of the third inning, but a two-run blast off the bat of SS Lucius Fox *cut the Indians’ lead in half. After the Indians extended their lead to 5-2 in the bottom third on a single and an error by 3B Jake Alu, the Wings pushed two runs across in the fourth on an RBI single from C Tres Barrera and an RBI fielder’s choice by RF Daniel Johnson, making the game 5-4.

Perez was charged with five runs making the score 13-4.

LHP Alberto Baldonado, RHP Reed Garrett, and LHP Matt Cronin pitched the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings, respectively. Baldonado gave up a solo home run to make it 14-4. Garrett and Cronin both hurled scoreless innings.
