Conner Mach, appearing in his first game of the season for the Generals, had a one out single to get things going. Freddy Villalobos then drilled a double down the left field line to drive in Mach all the way from first base. It was the second double of the game for Villalobos.
After a single by Ryan Dalton, the Generals pulled off a double steal that scored Villalobos from third base. Dalton would later steal third base and come around to score on a wild pitch.
