• The Cougars knotted the game at 3-3 with a pair of triples in the fourth inning.
• The Roos brought what proved to be the game-winning run across in the sixth on a Noah Reyes RBI single up the middle to bring home Seth Gilbert, who opened the inning with a leadoff walk. He moved over to second on a sacrifice bunt from Jesus Garcia.
