The Honkers struggled at the plate garnering only three hits on the night, two of which came from Dempsey Grover (UC Santa Barbara).

The Huskies would put on two more runs in the bottom of the fifth for a 5-1 lead, and pile on three insurance runs in the seventh to force the series split with an 8-1 win. The Honkers took the first game of the series 7-6 on Monday.
The Honkers next home game will be Wednesday, July 29th at 7:05 p.m. It will be the second half of a split double header with Waterloo. It will be Super Hero Night. Come to the game dressed as your favorite Super Hero and get free general admission.
