Dylan Busby belted a three-run homer in the third inning to up the Seminoles’ lead to 7-1. Logan Davidson lined a run-scoring single in the fifth inning, then Seth Beer led off the sixth inning with his 11th homer of the year. Reed Rohlman extended his hitting streak to 13 games as well.

Seminole starter Tyler Holton (5-1) earned the win, as he allowed seven hits, three runs and three walks with nine strikeouts in a career-high 8.0 innings pitched. Tiger starter Alex Eubanks (5-3) suffered the loss, as he yielded seven runs on six hits in 3.0 innings pitched.
