The Indians slipped into the lead in the opening stanza with a 4-1 advantage, but the Tigers reversed the situation by outscoring the Reds 7-2 to command a 10-6 lead by halftime.
Gnaden matched Strasburg point-for-point in the 3rd period, where each team collected 7, but lost out in the final when the Tigers put on its stretch drive. Strasburg led the Indians once by 9 points, 24-15, in the final period before a belated Gnadenhutten rally netted 4 points.
