Grand Junction jumped ahead of the Owlz in the first with Lavigne singling to right before stealing second. A wild pitch sent him to third before scoring on a sac fly from John Cresto to make it 1-0. The Rox kept the lead the rest of the game scoring five runs in the third, and four runs in the fourth to make it 10-0 heading to the bottom of the frame.
In the home half, the Owlz put four runs on the board. After Fracisco Del Valle walked, Tim Millard and Griffin Barnes hit singles to load the bases. Erven Roper stepped into the box and hit a grand slam beyond the fence in right center field to make it 10-4.
The Rox tacked on another four runs in the fifth to regain a ten-run lead and kept adding runs including three in the top of the ninth en route to an 18-6 win.
