Lefty Mason Olson struck out four in 3-1/3 scoreless innings and Yondrei Rojas was tagged for three runs in the eighth inning.

Erie starter Joe Miller did not allow a run in 3-2/3 innings. Reliever Coli Fields (W, 2-0) followed with 1-1/3 innings of scoreless baseball. Johan Simon, Dariel Fregio, and Wandisson Charles fired the final four frames as the Cats offense failed to overcome the early deficit.
