Ryan Fox started the scoring in the second with a solo shot, his tenth of the season. White made it 4-1 with his three run bomb, coming with two on and two outs in the fourth. Ray Sadler was hit by a pitch and Jim Fasano singled to set the stage for White.
The JackHammers lone tally came in the fourth on a home run by Kevin Rios. The shortstop launched a shot into the left field bleachers against Cody McAllister to tie the game at one.

Bay went seven as well, allowing five runs on eight hits with four strikeouts, surrendering the three long balls.
