Generals newcomer Jace Reese smacked a double in his first at bat with the team, but Cortina was thrown out trying to score on the play.  Jordan Camel then singled to score Reese and put the Generals out in front 2-0.

Brett Hoffman led off the second inning with a walk and advanced to third on a double by J.D. Stinnett.  Brandon Hannon then delivered a two-run single.  Cortina added an RBI double later in the inning to plate Frank Cloutier who had walked to make the score 5-0.

Stinnett and Hannon executed a double steal in the fourth to plate Stinnett and make it 6-0 in favor of the Generals.

The Marshals made it 6-2 in the sixth inning on and RBI double by Taylor Munden and an RBI single by Cody Semler.
