The Whitecaps would score in the sixth after Woodruff left the game. Jeferson Figueroa entered the game for Woodruff and walked the first batter he faced. Brett Callahan was next, and he sent a grounder to right. Second baseman Daniel Guilarte ranged into the outfield and fielded the ball cleanly. However, his throw to first was wild to allow Briceño to score.
The next batter reached on a dropped third strike to load the bases with two outs. Figueroa was able to escape the inning on a force play at second for the final out with the three-run lead intact. He would also work a scoreless seventh inning.
Patricio Aquino, the third pitcher of the game for Wisconsin, entered for Figueroa to start the eighth. Briceño greeted Aquino with a double off the wall in left field. There were two outs and Briceño was still at second with Aquino walked Izaac Pacheco. Andrew Jenkins followed with a single to left to score Briceño and cut Wisconsin’s lead to one run.
In the ninth, Aquino gave up a lead-off single to Jack Penny to bring the top of the Whitecaps order to the plate. Aquino worked through the spot with a flyout to left by Max Clark, a called third strike on a 3-2 pitch to Seth Stephenson, and a grounder back to the mound by Briceño. Aquino earned his first save of the season with the scoreless ninth to preserve the win.
Pérez led the Wisconsin offense with three hits, including a double and the two-run triple.
