The Butler BlueSox (19-21) and the Champion City Kings (14-25) both threatened with rallies, but it was the Butler BlueSox that eventually took advantage of them in a 4-2 win at Kelly Automotive Park.

The fact that the Butler BlueSox grouped all of their runs into the third inning helped them take advantage of their hits.

David Lemasters's eight strikeouts helped the Butler BlueSox to the victory. Lemasters allowed one earned run on seven hits and one walk over seven innings.

A bright spot for the Champion City Kings in the defeat was Brandon Eck, who allowed only zero runs while striking out five.

Andrew McDonald couldn't get it done on the mound for the Champion City Kings, taking a loss. He lasted just five innings, walked three, struck out eight, and allowed four runs.
