Furthermore, Ostrava was the first to score, after Martin Šmoldas manufactured the first run for Jakub Kubica. Brno starter Gillian Wernet didn't allow more to the home team.
Draci were able to tie the game in the seventh inning after hits from Arnošt Dubový and Filip Moštěk. Ostrava fans got to experience an exciting finish when the ninth inning started with score 2-2. But they had to leave disappointed after the last out, as Draci came through. First Eugene Helder got his team the lead with a solo homerun, for Arnošt Dubový to get his second RBI of the game a few moments later. Martin Schneider closed the game on the mound, helped with two strikeouts.
