Ryan Hannah went 2-for-4, with a run, an RBI and a stolen base, and Danish Nadeem went 1-for-4, with a run, an RBI and a stolen base.

Nick Rosikiewicz went 2-for-2, with two runs, three RBIs, two doubles and two stolen bases, while Gordon went 1-for-2 with a walk, with two runs, an RBI, a double and a stolen base.
