A 9th-inning charge by the Bisons was not enough to over come an 8th-inning rally by the Red Wings. Bisons starting pitcher Scott Diamond pitched a gem through six innings and allowed only five hits and a walk. He struck out four over six shutout innings.
Ben Rowen came on in the 7th and allowed a pair of hits that led to the Wings first run. Ryan Tepera came on after Rowen, recording one out and got the Herd out of the 7th. Tepera then had massive difficulties in the 8th and was saddled with all five of the Wings runs that inning.
