Bryce Nagata (Sonoma St) had two singles and a two-run double, Grant Little (Texas Tech) had a double and two singles, and Bret Bautista (San Jose St) hit a three-run home run and two singles to each finish with a game-high three hits.

The Riptide scored twice, assisted by Catch fielding errors, in the fourth inning off of Catch starting pitcher Chris Vargas (UC Irvine), who went five innings with six strikeouts, to tie the score 2-2. Then Beck’s sixth inning hit, which followed a lead-off single by Dominic Fletcher (Arkansas) and two walks, drove in the go ahead runs.
