Alix Garcia hit a low and outside pitch into right field with two strikes to start off the bottom of the 9th, and when Brent Bailey laid down a bunt single to the left side to advance him, the throw went into right field scoring pinch-runner Jake Vander Wal all the way from first. Central Arizona scored three runs in the last two innings to take the weekend.

Down 2-0 in the bottom of the 8th, Andrew Chartrand singled to left to start off the inning and scored when Matt Kroon hit a hard one through the left side that mysteriously got all the way to the fence. Kroon ended up on third and Roger Varela hit a sacrifice fly to tie the score.

Grant Townsend pitched out of a big jam in the top of the 9th with runners on second and third and one out. With the infield in, Pikai Duque-Winchester fielded a grounder and threw home to catch the runner on third in a rundown for the second out, and Townsend struck out the next batter. 

Big.

Will McAffer threw a tidy 4.2 and the Central defense came up with a couple of nice double plays, one of them with the bases loaded in the top of the 7th. Garcia to Devin Ray to Bradley Gonzales.
