Logan Crook singled then advanced to 3rd on an error when Trevor Harrard reached base on a dropped third strike with a bad throw to first. Kyle Neimeier walked to load the bases with 2 outs. Michael Roehrig stepped up and promptly hit the Pirates 3rd homerun, a grand slam to give Madisonville an 8-7 lead. Michael Edwards was called upon to finish off the bottom of the inning striking out 3 Railroaders to save the game.

     Zach Uher gets the win as the pitcher of record going three innings in relief. Cody Avley takes the loss with the go ahead run scoring in the final inning.
