Kaz Matsui, CF Cole Garner, and LF Jay Payton accounted for nine of the Springs' 12 hits. They split the hits three each, but it was Payton who unleashed his whack stick and hit a three-run homer. Chaz Roe: 4.1 IP, 14 H, 9/8 R/ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 1 HR.

RHP Albert Campos did well on the mound, allowing only an unearned run in seven innings and striking out seven. The same cannot be said for Missoula's Kevin Eichhorn because he allowed 11 runs on 13 hits in four innings. Victor Acosta also had a rough go of it by allowing 10 runs on seven hits and four walks in 1 1/3 innings. Victor Lara allowed the last five.
