Alex Guerrero had four hits including a double and triple. Tim Federowicz had a strange line showing three at-bats, four runs scored, and two hits.

HiA – The Quakes put two runs on the board in the first and held that lead until the ninth inning but then the Ports (Athletics) scored three to win 3 to 2. Julio Urias started for Quakes and was dominating as he struck out nine and scattered two hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. Urias pitched into the sixth inning for the first time this season and he was taken out after two batters got on base. The Quakes maintained their 2 - 0 lead until the top of the ninth. Rob Rogers came in to try and save the game but after three batters, the Ports had narrowed the lead to one and then a wild pitch brought in the tying run. Rogers would give up another hit that pushed across the ultimate winning run.
The Quakes scored their two runs in the bottom of the first. Brandon Dixon tripled to right and scored on a single by Pratt Maynard. After a walk, Aaron Miller singled in the second run.
LoA – The Loons got out to an early lead but then the rain came and cancelled the game. Since the Loons and Hot Rods will not meet again, there will be no make up game.

In the second game, the Dodgers scored three runs in the third inning to take a 3 to 1 lead but then the Rangers put up a lovely six runs to take the lead. The Rangers would make the seven runs stick has they withstood a three-run rally by the Raptors that fell a run short.
