(one each) No Big Train players got any RBIs in the game either. Jose Velasquez allowed 2 hits and 0 runs over 3 innings pitched.

On the other hand, Patrick Keane pitched 5 innings striking out 8 batters and only allowing 4 base runners and none of them scored. Mike Kent and Jimmy Reid each pitched an inning allowing 1 hit and no runs. Ryan Collins lead the offense for another night with 3 hits, one being a triple, 2 RBIs, and a run. The Orioles and Redbirds both won.
