In the top of the second, Marcus Lee Sang struck back with a solo blast, his 10th of the season, to cut the deficit to 2-1 and Rafe Perich crushed a two-run home run down the left field line to put the Riders in front 3-2 against Nic Swanson (2-8).

Josh Trentadue (3-2) finished out the last 3.0 innings, striking out six and allowing just one baserunner.
