The Golden Knights struck first, jumping out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first when Greg Jasek plated Anthony Padrazo with a single to right center.
Union answered in the fourth, taking the only lead it would need. Jake Fishman led off the inning with a single to left and Kent Curran followed with a double. Egan cleared the bases in the next at-bat, driving a double down the left field line.

Jamie Faber extended the Union lead in the six, driving in Egan with an RBI single to center. Vesling cruised in the second half of the game, surrendering just two hits over the final five innings.
