Gwinnett managed little offense and scored no runs in a 2-0 loss. Early chances came after a walk and a hit with two outs, but DaShawn Keirsey Jr. hit a hard line drive that stayed in range of the center fielder. Elieser Hernandez delivered a strong start, allowing two runs over six innings while striking out six. Over the final eight innings, Luke Williams was the only Stripers player to record a hit, including a hustle double in the third inning. A final-inning base hit by Williams provided brief hope, but the remaining batters struck out to end the game.
"The Stripers are likely going to look to forget this game rather quickly. There was little offense to speak of, and this game moved at pace due to good pitching out of the Gwinnett staff. Early it didn't seem like it would be that rough of a game for Gwinnett. They were in good position following a walk and a hit with two out, getting an early opportunity to put up a run for Elieser Hernandez to work with."
"That early push was the closest Gwinnett would get to scoring in the game, as over the final eight innings Luke Williams was the only player who managed a hit. Williams found fortune with a bloop into right center in the third inning that he turned into a hustle double, but the next hitter struck out after a successful challenge from the Sounds to strand Williams at second."
"In the final inning Williams gave the Stripers just a dash of hope with a base hit, but the other three batters struck out and spoiled the day. Elieser Hernandez kept the Stripers in this game by posting by far his best"
