In 7.1 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 8, walking 1, and allowing 1 run. Dan Esgro sewed up the save, his 1st.

Austin Garvin helped his team take an early lead with a run-scoring single. It came in the first inning, making the score 1-0, Ambition.

"I feel like we're rolling now," Garvin told the Indianapolis News."The dugout is coming alive."

The Fireballs, now 6-14, continue their inauspicious start.
