Brent Graham (LCC) went one-for-four with a walk, Matt Giller (Kansas St.) reached on a single and an error, and Trent Zaks (UC-Irvine) reached on a walk and an error. Greg Velazquez (Cal St Fullerton) returned to the lineup after hurting his ankle in a game against Kelowna on June 17 th . He led off the 9 th inning with a single, but the frame and the game ended shortly thereafter with him stranded on second.
