Veteran pitcher Ryan Donnelly (Toronto) got the start on the mound, pitching 5.2 innings, striking out one, while allowing eight runs on 10 hits. 

Down 5-0 after the first two innings, the Blues rallied and brough the game within one with two runs in the bottom of the third and fifth. The Badgers responded with three runs in the sixth; however, the Blues bounced back again and headed into the ninth down 8-7.
