Blaine Hokama RBI single and a
Matthew Kiyota RBI double to make it 3-2 Warriors after one inning played.

With the mercy rule in place the game would end afte seven inning with the Warriors holding on to the twenty run lead.
In game two the Red Hawks looked to settle down the Warrior offense with
Cody Coggins on the mound.

The score would remain 1-0 Warriors until the seventh inning when the Red Hawks tied the game up a one a piece when
