Michael Mahoney would get the second hit, a run scoring single in the home half of the sixth. Mahoney would score one batter later on an error by Roughriders third basemen Troy Berg.

Carson Weiler was the hitting hero for Dickinson with two hits, two runs scored and an rbi. Isaac Daley drove in to runs with a two-run home run in the sixth to make it 5-0 Dickinson. It wasa laser shot over the right field wall.
