Drew Ball pitched three innings in relief for the Aces and struck out eight in his stint on the mound. The Hawks scored twice in the bottom of the seventh inning against the hard throwing right hander on RBI doubles by Blake Warner and Ben Tiegland.
Jordan Jeske pitched the eight solid innings for Hastings but gave way to Dennis Reinhardt. Reinhardt had a shaky ninth inning, walking three and giving up and RBI single to Evan Petersmeyer before Ben Tiegland came on in relief and struck out Cooper Chandler looking with runners and first and second base to get the save.
