One out later, David Castillo grounded out to short to score Ingram. Vasili Spanos doubled to left. Eddie Kim then singled to left. Spanos tried to score but would be thrown out to end the inning.

Robinson Chirinos led off the second with a single to short. Uriak Marquez singled to center. Carlos Rojas then grounded into a double play. Chirinos would score on the play.

The Cougars had a chance to score some runs in the third inning but just couldnt get it done. Jesse Acosta led it off with a walk. Brian Ingram then singled to right. Nick Rogers moved the runners along with a bunt. Runners on second and third with only one out. David Castillo poped up to first. Spanos poped up to short to end the inning.
