The Cats answered back right away through Logan Shepherd (Mercer U), who hit his team-leading sixth home run of the campaign, a two-run shot to tie the game at two.

Bridges battled from there over five innings of work, giving up nine hits, walking zero and striking out three. On the other side was Mitch Haythorn who started for Wenatchee. He struck out seven Cats over five innings of work and managed to escape a bases loaded jam in the fifth inning, getting Connor Ross (Cal Baptist) to lineout to end the threat.
Tyler Patrick (Fresno State) replaced Bridges and gave up a pair of runs in the sixth inning including an Adam Haight home run, his second in as many games, to extend the Sox lead to 6-2.
