Milwaukee scored three times in the first inning, highlighted by RBI doubles from Bradyn Horn and Charlie Marion. An unearned run in the second and an RBI single from Joey Spence in the sixth provided ample support. Peterson earned the win, while Youngstown State starter Brandon Mikos took the loss.
