Third baseman CJ Alexander tagged a two-run homer in the 2^nd, had an RBI double in the 3^rd and then singled in the 7^th. Shortstop Darell Hernaiz hit his team-leading 8^th double and scored a run in the 2^nd and then homered to tie the game in the bottom of the 8^th. Starter Jack Cushing allowed 5 runs in 4 frames, while LHP Hogan Harris tossed 2 scoreless innings in relief, and RHP Grant Holman pitched 2 perfect frames in the 8^th and 9^th to pick up the victory for Las Vegas.
