Joshua Lee took a stroll to load the bases. Aaron Blazier reached on a fielder’s choice, when Trinity’s shortstop went to second on Blazier’s ground ball. The second baseman was several feet from the bag allowing Lee to arrive safely. Barlow scored on the fielder’s choice. Christian Charles cleared the bases with a double, giving the Miners a 4-2 advantage, after one inning.

Kevin McCanna led off the second inning for the Miners with a walk, and moved to second on a single by Barlow. McCanna was erased when he was caught stealing. Barlow advanced to second on a steal and third on a wild pitch. With one down, Zach Salvestro walked and then stole second base. Berryhill walked to load the bases.
