The Grenadiers opened the scoring in the opening frame after Bryson Arnette hit a two-out single. One inning later, Kasen Parks stole second base and then advanced to third after the Tigers committed an error. Parks would score one at-bat later after Joel Johnson grounded out to second.
In the third, Alex Schuler and Arnette reached base, then both moved into scoring position after a balk. Schuler and Arnette would both tap the dish after back-to-back RBI singles by Coulter Hamilton and Kannon Stull, respectively.
