Wisconsin Rapids had its chances in the fifth and sixth with runners at the corners and one out on the board, but double plays ended those scoring chances.

Kevin Tibor (4-3. 1.26 ERA) got his fourth win of the season in the complete game shutout. Jake Cook (1-5, 6.68 ERA), despite putting in a quality start, suffered the loss with two unearned runs on four hits. Cook struck out four in six innings pitched.
