In the following game on April 4, the Bees came back after trailing Sacramento four runs to none in the second inning. Salt Lake's bats came alive to post 13 runs, claiming its second victory of the season, 13-4.

The River Cats took the next two, dropping the Bees to a 2-2 season mark. Down 11-2, in the third on Saturday, the Bees rallied for five more runs, but couldn't close the gap and eventually fell to Sacramento 12-7.
