Christopher Robinson had a team high three hits to go with a RBI while Will Kelley (two triples, three RBI) and Zachary McAdams (two hits, two RBI) combined for four hits and five RBI. Cameron Neel also had another two-hit game in his third contest this year.

Blake Corbin earned his first win of the season going 5.2 innings allowing two runs on three hits with nine strikeouts. Alex Arellano pitched two thirds of an inning allowing a run on three hits.
