Michael Wielansky had a very strong performance for the TomSox, being just a single away from hitting the cycle as a part of a 3-for-5 performance. He tallied up three RBI and two runs to lead the TomSox. Ari Sechopoulos also had a good game for Charlottesville, going 2-for-4 with two RBI.

Chris Farish (1-1) took the loss, which was his first on the season. He worked 6.0 innnings and allowed two earned on seven hits but did strike out six. Drew Loepprich (4-0) remained undefeated on his record, tallying up his fourth decision on the season. He worked 2.0 innings and only allowed just two hits.
