The Ohlone offense provided early and ample support for their ace. Julian Cambra opened the scoring in the bottom of the 2nd with a towering solo home run, setting the tone for the evening.

The Renegades broke the game open in the 3rd inning, putting up a four-spot highlighted by a two-RBI double from Joaquin Stuart. Teo Thompson was a force at the plate all night, finishing a perfect 3-for-3 with a double and two RBIs.
