The Frogs then opened it up in the 4th when Andrew Brooks and Seehusen led off the inning with singles. Brooks scored on a single by Jake Marcus, and Seehusen scored on an error. Gass then walked and Shawn Dollerschell hit a single. Both scored on 3 run homerun by Tyler Hebrink.
The Frogs added another run in the 5th on a solo HR by Logan Sandgren, the first of his Bullfrogs career. It didn’t take long for Sandgren to get his second, when he hit another in the 6th inning.
The Rockets added 2 runs in the 6th and 2 runs in the 9th, but it wasn’t enough as the Frogs won 12-7.
Jesse Bjur pitched 7-2/3 innings to pick up the victory, scattering 5 runs on 8 hits, and striking out 7 batters. Dylan Gass pitched the final 1-1/3 innings to preserve the victory.
