Holdenrid hurled his first career complete game and limited the Bulls to three hits, one walk and one earned run while registering a career-high nine strikeouts. He faced just four batters over the minimum and allowed one hit after the fourth inning. The lone run scored against Holdenrid came on a third inning groundout.
