The Bulls jumped on the Stripers early and never looked back, with Jack Suwinski's first-inning single scoring two runs—including an unearned run off a right-field error—to set the tone for a 4-2 victory. Austin Slater provided the power, going deep once while driving in a run. The Bulls outhit the Stripers 8-7 to improve to 55-65, while the Stripers dropped to 60-60. The teams meet again Wednesday.
Suwinski's ground ball to right in the first inning scored Williams and Morgan on a fielding error, giving the Bulls the early advantage that would hold up all night.
Slater went 1-for-4 but made it count with a home run and an RBI, leading the Bulls offense.
The Bulls' eight hits proved enough to overcome the Stripers' seven in a defensive battle that turned on that first-inning mistake.

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.
Runs by inning across the top, then every batter and pitcher underneath. The pills switch clubs; the totals column is each side’s own line, not a comparison.
