Borquin scored as C Benji Johnson reached on an error and Johnson scored on a double from SS Adam Frost. Another double from RF Jose Hernandez scored Frost. The Bear put together a couple of runs in the back end of the game with the help of RF Eric McGee's first homerun of the season but couldn't complete the comeback.
