Raul Navarro went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk as the Bears were outhit 13-8 in the loss. Comerota finished 2-for-4 with a triple, a stolen base, and a run scored. Zabala ended the game 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI.
Adam Kudryk fell to 0-2 after taking the loss. The lefty allowed five earned runs on 11 hits. Miles Reagan gave up a pair of runs in a single inning of work. Sammy De Los Santos finished the game for the Bears with a 1-2-3 eighth inning.
