In the first game against the Salmon Kings, Post 20 did all its damage with five runs in the fourth inning and that was enough.

Hunter Williams finished up with 1 2-3 scoreless innings, giving up a hit and a walk while striking out two.

Ohnemus got the win, going six innings and giving up three runs — two earned — on three hits. Ohnemus walked four and struck out 11.

Schilling came on for the seventh, pitching a scoreless and hitless inning while whiffing one.
