Decisive Plays: The Stripers fell behind 3-0 after three innings but answered back with three runs in the fourth to tie the game. Brewer Hicklen opened the scoring with an RBI double to left-center, Aaron Schunk followed with a sacrifice fly, and DaShawn Keirsey Jr. laced a game-tying single with two outs to make it 3-3. The tie was short-lived as Nashville took a 4-3 lead in the fourth on a two-out RBI single by Cooper Pratt and added another run in the fifth on an RBI groundout from Brock Wilken. Gwinnett cut it to 5-4 in the seventh on a two-out RBI double by Adam Zebrowski but could not complete a comeback.
