The Vics took the lead on a fielders choice of the bat of Chris Thulin in the 6th, but gave that lead right back in the bottom of the inning. The Indians did not look back after that.

He was taken out because of pitch count but had a great outing. Erik Winegarden hit his first home run of the year. The Indians were hitting the ball all over the park and scored 11 runs. The Vics scored 5 in the 9th but it proved to not be enough. Vics lose 11-7.

Tom Bergner got a rare start and pitched like he was in playoff form. Jordan got on the board first in the 3rd but the Vics answered right back with a run of their own in the bottom of the inning. Jordan then plated one in the 5th and three in the 8th. The Vics did make a charge scoring 3 in bottom of the 8th. At the end the Vics fell short and let this game slip. Vics lose 5-4.
