In the bottom of the second, a balk committed by Chinooks starting pitcher Matthew Mueller (Gonzaga) scored Seth Sweet-Chick (Nevada) which made the lead 2-0. Dock Spiders starting pitcher Joseph Chavana (Trinity) settled in and shoved for seven innings of four hit ball. Chavana also tallied seven strikeouts on the night. In the bottom of the seventh, the Dock Spiders struck again as Jake Surane registered another RBI single that scored Cooney and gave the Dock Spiders a 3-0 lead.
