Probst went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI, while Babcock went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, and one run. Those two doubles gave Babcock a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Avery Steffes, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.
