Shane Rawley(5-10) was the winner allowing 3 runs in 7 innings. Ricky Horton(4-1) was tagged with the loss. He was hit hard and gave up 9 hits and 2 walks in 4 and 2/3 innings.
"Actually, I didn't feel that comfortable at the plate tonight" Schmidt said after the game. "Despite that, I'm happy with the results!"
