Although Culvers made a great comeback attempt in the bottom of the 6th, with bases loaded Matt Holmes threw his 5th strikeout to win the game. Jake Ryan 5 stikeouts and Nick Grabko 6 also pitched for Troutman. Hitting for Troutman Austin Corniels a triple, Matt Holmes, and Shane OBrien. Hitting for Culvers Kyle Graebner 2 hits, Keagan Graebner, Cody Fritsch,and Nick Lappin added hits. On the mound for Culvers Dylan Peterson 3 stikeouts, Kyle Graebner 5, and Keagan Graebner 4.
