After Judson took a two-run lead in the top of the 1st, the Trolls responded with three runs on one hit in the bottom half of the frame. Taiki Kondo would single to bring in Hector Mendoza, who reached base after being hit by pitch, then Casey Folkerts' sac fly would score Shane Jones to even the score at 2-2. Kondo would later score on a balk to give Trinity the early lead.

Following Mendoza's RBI single in the 2nd, both teams would score runs in the 4th inning and Judson would tie the game at 5-5 in the top of the 5th. The visitors would then rally for seven runs in the 6th inning to pull away, with Trinity's four-run bottom of the 7th closing the gap at the end.

Kondo and Omar Wright each went 2-for-4, while Brodie Mayberry finished 2-for-3 with a double. Shane Jones hit his second home run of the season, going 1-for-3 with a walk, three RBI and two runs scored.

Kondo would go 3-for-4 to lead the Trolls at the plate, with a double, run scored, and stolen base.

Wright would finish 2-for-5 as the lone Troll to record multiple hits in the game, while Kondo finished 1-for-3 with an RBI and a pair of walks.
