Starting pitcher Ryan Zimmerman then gave up four runs in the bottom of the second inning and the Dogs got right back into the game. Keon Barnum then hit another home run in his former team's stadium and brought the lead back up to two for the Milkmen.

Zimmerman was then replaced by Myles Smith in the third inning and Smith then gave up a two run double that tied the game at six.

Milwaukee did not score for the rest of the night and Chicago hit a two run home run off of Peyton Gray in the seventh inning. With the Milkmen unable to respond, the Dogs closed the game in the top of the ninth inning by a score of 8-6.
