Dempsey got credit for the save after firing the ninth inning, allowing no runs on one hit, no walks and he struck out the side. Together Johnson and Dempsey combined for 38 pitches, and throwing 31 for strikes! Offensive stars for the Paints were led by Matt Hopfner, 3-for-3 with a runs scored and John McLain, 2-for-4 that included a 2-run double to cap off the Paints big five-run 8th inning.
