Decisive Plays: For just the second time all series, Round Rock struck first as Trevor Hauver walked and scored on a wild pitch from Elieser Hernandez (L, 0-1) in the third. An inning later, Jose Herrera hammered a solo home run (1) out to right field to make it 2-0 Express. In the seventh, Hauver delivered an RBI single to increase the Round Rock led to 3-0. The Stripers ended the shutout in the top of the eighth on Wisely’s two-run single to center, trimming the deficit to 3-2. Round Rock answered back with two runs in the bottom of the eighth on RBI singles by Alejandro Osuna and Hauver, putting the game out of reach at 5-2. The Stripers brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth against Peyton Gray (S, 1), but Chadwick Tromp flied out to left to end it.
Should've located that pitch more WISELY.
