The Dodsons pitched the final 1-1/3 innings to preserve the win, giving up one unearned run. C. Dodson fanned two against a walk, and A. Dodson struck out a batter while allowing one hit.

The Cardinals scored a run in the seventh to win the game. The Wooden Shoes scored in the second but the Cardinals tied the game in the fourth and took a 3-1 lead in the fifth. The Shoes tied the game in the bottom of the inning, though, and that's where things stood until the seventh.
