Gilbert was aided by six Perry errors and hit five doubles in the game.
Alex Morales started for the Bluejays (0-8) and allowed 10 hits and two walks while hitting one batter. He tossed 4-1/3 innings, yielding nine runs of which only three were earned.
Kaden Boyer recorded one out in relief, surrendering four runs (two earned) while walking three batters and hitting two with pitches.
Kaleb Olejniczak had a double, a RBI and scored once, with Keghan West adding two singles and two RBIs. Kate Dougan walked and scored, with Justin Stammer walking, stealing a base and scoring once.
