The Snappers managed to split the Sunday afternoon doubleheader as they dropped the first decision 8-5 and in game two they were able to take a close 2-1 ball game.

A fielding error by Bees shortstop Ryan Wood scored both Ozzie Lewis and Angel Morales to shorten the Bees lead.
The Bees eventually took the game 8-5 as Aaron Hicks went perfect at the plate going 2-for-2 with two walks and two runs scored.
In game two starting pitcher Daniel Berlind went five solid innings giving up one run and as he picked up his fourth win of the season.
Both clubs exchanged runs in the second inning as Jon Waltenbury scored on fielding error by Bee's third baseman Jason Morales, Waltenbury had doubled to lead off the inning.
The very next inning the Snappers took the one run lead as Dominic De La Osa scored on a wild pitch from third base giving the Snappers the 2-1 lead.
