Collett extends his consecutive scoreless innings streak to 12.2 innings. Ross Haffey drove in three runs with a bases-clearing double in the third inning.

Collett faced the minimum over his two innings to close the door and preserve the one-run win. Josh Goulet also homered for the Unicorns in his USPBL debut, smashing a ball over the Chevy Pavilion in left field.
