Northern Cass was held to only one hit by Tornado starting pitcher Michael Kelly, who struck out 10, but ended with a no decision. Tyre ended up with the loss and blown save as he surrendered all three runs on five Jaguar hits in the bottom of the seventh. Meehl had a triple and a run scored for Oakes in defeat.
