Corvallis: The Black Bears committed five errors Thursday night and got too far behind for a rally, eventually losing 8-2 to the Corvallis Knights. The loss, combined with a Klamath Falls Gems win, has the Black Bears a half game behind in the race for the final playoff spot.

Both of the Black Bears runs came in the eighth inning and were unearned. Konnor Armijo (Santa Ana) had an RBI double and scored a run himself. The Black Bears had three singles in the ballgame and Armijo and Justin Hazard (UCLA) doubled.
They were shut out by the Corvallis starting pitcher in his seven innings of work.
