Walta took over on the mound when the game resumed and fired a gem, finishing out the remaining 5.2 innings and allowing no runs on just three hits while striking out 10 to earn the victory. He also helped his own cause at the plate with an RBI triple in the 3rd, and a run scoring single in the 7th. An RBI single from Will Hotchkiss and a wild pitch that plated Derouin accounted for the other Viking runs.
