Nick Pratto walked and, with one out, McBroom walked to load the bases. A sacrifice fly from MJ Melendez increased the Storm Chasers lead to 4-0.

The Saints answered back in the bottom of the inning as Gilberto Celestino doubled down the third base line with two outs. Mark Contreras followed with a fly ball double down the left field line scoring Celestino to cut the Saints deficit to 4-1. Jimmy Kerrigan’s ground ball base hit into left-center scored Conteras getting the Saints to within 4-2.

In the seventh, Erick Mejia put the Storm Chasers up 5-2 with a solo homer to right, his fifth of the season.

The Storm Chasers hit their fourth home run of the night as Ryan McBroom hit his second solo shot, this time to center, his 28th of the season, making it 6-2.
