Thad Ward went five full innings for the first time in six starts, allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits (no HR) and five walks, and struck out three to win his fifth game. Carter Kieboom was the beer man as the Red Wings smelted IronPigs pitchers for 13 hits, led by Travis Blankenhorn with a single, two homers, and five RBI while Drew Millas and Brady House both reached base three times on two safeties and a base-on-balls.

The Yard Goats posted a picket fence in the early innings and went deep in the 9th to walk off the Senators, 4-3. Samuel Reyes opened the game and let in two runs on four hits (one HR) and a walk. The loss went to Daison Acosta as Braiden (not a typo) Ward put a coat on a hanger and deposited the third pitch of the 9th into the RF seats. Paul Witt drove in all three runs on two-run homer in the 7th and a dribbler to the mound in the 9th that enabled Jeremy De La Rosa, who led off the 9th with a triple, to scamper home.

Brenner Cox singled, doubled, and scored twice while Cristhian Vaquero and Armando Cruz both singled twice with Vaquero driving in two to pace the Fredericksburg offense.
