The Raiders, now 28-25 overall, opened the scoring in the first inning as Jeff Mercer would hit a fly ball down the right field line.

In the sixth, Henn would get into trouble as a pair of singles, a walk and a wild pitch would allow the first run of the game to score of the Rockets. Michael Meintel came on and allowed a pair of sacrifice flies and Toledo (21-26) led 3-2 heading to the seventh inning.

In the seventh, the Green and Gold rallied to take a lead behind three base hits and a walk. Aaron Fields led the inning off with a single, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt, and scored on an RBI single from Mercer to knot the game at 3-3. After a Cate walk, Kory Twede used a sacrifice fly to give the Raiders a 5-3 lead.

Cate extended his hitting streak to 19 games with an RBI single in the eighth inning, as the Raiders collected seven of their ten hits in the seventh and eighth innings of the contest.
