Eddie Rivero made it 4-0 later on when he singled to left, scoring Damien Holmes. 

Micah Wallette opened the scoring in the six-run third when singled up the middle scoring Nick Malvini. 

España then singled to right plating Avalos, before Zane Parmenter doubled to right scoring Wallette and making it 8-0.
