Omaha opened the scoring in the second inning against Arguello. Lorenzo Cain led off with a double before Lance Zawadski belted a two-run home run to left-centerfield, his second, and the first off Arguello, opening a 2-0 Storm Chasers lead.
The Storm Chasers made it 3-0 in the seventh inning when Mike Moustakas belted a two-out, solo home run inside the right field pole against reliever Wesley Wright.
