As the Pepperdine product, Jack Basseer, was up he got called on a ball and Johnson stole 2nd which allowed Duffey to get home for the one and only run of the game

The Rafters pitching success continued as 2 more pitchers, Drake Frize and Sidney Ferry were able to acquire 3 more strikeouts to add their pitching success. The Rafters pitching staff totaled 10 strikeouts tonight
