Chris D'Amico (Presentation College) pitched five innings of one-run baseball to pick up his league-leading 7th win, and Ben Kiefer (University of Northern Alabama), Johnny Radomskiy (Presentation College), and Omar Ortiz (Vanguard University) all homered power the Rogues to a 13-4 victory over the South Bay Storm.

Medford native Travis Danielson (Menlo College) doubled to lead off the second inning for the Rogues, which kicked off a four-run inning capped by a two-RBI double off the bat of Ryan Gamboa (Academy of Art University, San Francisco).

In the top of the third inning, Pete Mendazona (Feather River College) hit a pop fly foul off the first base side in the third inning. Storm first baseman Aaron Hoch climbed up the 10ft high wire fence in foul territory and reached over it to catch the ball.
