The two teams were deadlocked at 4-4 after the first two innings. Wagner got on the board with an RBI single by Ruggiero in the first and Selby followed with a double to center field that brought in Ruggiero.
 

In the bottom of the first, Fisher delivered a two-run single to center field to tie the game.

In the second, Lukas Torres plated home AJ Vigliotti on the RBI grounder to first before Faicchio lofted a sacrifice fly to centerfield as Wagner went ahead 4-2.

With one out, Faicchio took over the team lead in home runs, as he connected on his sixth of the season, a two-run home run that cleared the right center field wall.
