The Electric responded right away with four in the bottom of the opening frame. Colton Lecuyer tripled and scored on a single by Dylan Rorwick. A homer by Conner Hopper scored two more. Finn Barton later scored in the inning after a walk, wild pitch, ground out and an RBI ground out by Ben Broek.

The Trics added two in the third as Hopper singled and scored by a missile of a homer by Barton.

WC's final run was in the fourth. Lecuyer singled driving the ball off Lowe's glove. He later plated on an RBI hit by Barton to make it 7-3.
