The Travelers scored two runs in the third inning behind an RBI-double from Jack Larsen and a sacrifice fly from Jake Scheiner that would give the Travelers a 3-1 advantage. Arkansas forced an early exit from Wind Surge starting pitcher Blayne Enlow as he pitched just three and one third innings, allowing three runs on four hits.
Arkansas grabbed three more insurance runs in the sixth courtesy of a two-out two-run RBI single from Joe Rizzo and an RBI single from Jake Scheiner that extended the lead to 6-1. Rizzo finished the day two for three with two RBIs and two walks.
