The offense backed the pitching performance of Ben Simon as he won his sixth decision of the year after allowing two runs and five hits in six innings of work. Brad Strauss led the Riversharks with a pair of run-scoring triples as he went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and four RBI. Travis Anderson also had two hits for the Riversharks offense that finish the game with 10 hits.
