The Patriots won the game 5-0, after winning the first game of their double header 6-2. The first game was started by RHP Luis Severino, as part of a rehab assignment for the Yankees.
On August 8, 2021, Severino also started the first no-hitter in Somerset Patriots franchise history with four perfect innings. In this game, Severino gave up a two-run home run to Grant Lavigne in the first inning, then proceeded to retire the next 10 batters in order with four strikeouts.
