The Flying Squirrels wasted no time against the Senators, striking in the first inning and cruising to a 7-2 victory. Sabin Ceballos delivered the early damage with a line drive single to left that scored a run and set the tone for a dominant performance. Both teams left runners stranded—the Flying Squirrels eight, the Senators eleven—but Richmond's hot start was enough. The clubs meet again Friday for the rematch.

Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
