The Bulls upped the lead to 4-0 with a 3-run 3rd inning. Bryce Jarvis got the big hit, a 2-run double to left center which scored Josh Byrd and Davis O'Brien. Alec Widmer followed that with a double of his own to score Jarvis and the 4-0 lead.
The Stars cut the bulls lead to 4-1 in the bottom of the 5th.
