The Blue Wave tied it back up at four in the second, but the Pats took the lead back when Austin Eppley doubled to score a run and Kainen Jorge hit his 9th home run of the season. Jack Garvey got the win in relief of starter Ian Moore. Garvey threw one inning, allowing one run on three hits. Patriot relievers Fulton Lockhart (2.1 Inn, 5 K), Cortland Clarke (1 Inn, 3 K) and Karson Lindsey (1 Inn, 3 K) all shut down the Blue Wave offense in their outings. The Patriot staff struck out a combined 13 batters in the game. Marcus Bradshaw was the leading hitter for the Pats, going 2-4 with 3 RBI and a HR.
