Morgan Johnson and Sage Shaw were speedy on the bases, nabbing two steals each. Kyle Kerr and Daymond Jassal added single steals.

Jesse Helmie and Jake Emmons both went  2-for-2 with two RBI. Steel Sigurdson ripped a stand-up double in the fourth, while the highlight of the game came in the fifth  when Keffer Kaempf slammed one to the outfield.
