The Aces used a 4-run 8th inning to win a game that they were being dominated for the first 7 innings of the game. They faced top pitching prospect Jeff Hoffman, who would strike out 11 Aces over 7 innings, although they did get him for a pair of solo homers. Matt Buschmann pitched competitively enough to put the Aces in a position where their big 8th inning would give them the victory.
