Trailing 3-0, three-straight one out doubles by the Boxers put the visitors ahead for the first time on the afternoon. One of the doubles was a two-RBI double for senior Kurtis Kloke (San Bernardino, Calif.), scoring Eli Wisdom (La Grande, Ore.) and Galeno. To start the inning, Wisdom had reached on an error. Pacific went ahead when Dylan Wright (Gilbert, Ariz.) hit the third double of the inning, scoring Kloke from second.
