Trae Hester wrapped up the final two innings, giving up one hit and adding one strikeout.
Rodrigue led off the game with a double into left-center field before scoring on Trosclair’s single up the middle to open the scoring before Trosclair advanced around the bases and later scored on a double steal.
The second inning began the same way the first did, with Deschamp leading off with a double before advancing to third on a groundout and then crossing the plate on a balk.
In the eighth, Ray Veit reached on an error before coming around to score on a dropped pop-up later in the inning.
The ninth inning saw Trosclair double to leadoff the inning before scoring on Powell’s RBI single. Powell would come around to score the game’s final run after stealing second base and scoring on Vidrine’s RBI single.
