The Captains won the first game, which had been suspended on April 14 with no score in the second inning. The Dragons came back to win the second game, collecting a season-high 13 hits over their six offensive innings. Morgan Lofstrom led the attack, going 3 for 3 with a home run and four runs batted in.
