Corey Dickerson was the biggest strikeout culprit, fanning three times in a 1-for-4 effort. Matt McBride had one hit, but it was a two-run triple in the eighth inning that cut a four-run deficit in half.

A+ Modesto: W 4-3 (13-18, 4th, 7 GB)
William Rankin and Scott Oberg were unable to hold on to the lead in the eighth inning, spoiling Tyler Anderson's magnificent start. Anderson lasted six innings and did not allow a run, giving up two hits while striking out six. Modesto found itself trailing heading into the bottom of the ninth, but Tyler Massey's two-out RBI single sent the game into extra innings, paving the way for Will Swanner's walk-off double in the 10th.
Massey led the way with three hits, while Swanner and Taylor Featherston finished with two apiece. Trevor Story doubled, drove in a run and struck out just once in five at-bats.
