David Barnes allowed one run with two strikeouts in the eighth and Tyler Alm earned the save with two punchouts in a perfect ninth inning.

Spokane got out to a 1-0 lead in the first as Jalen King beat out an infield single. He then stole second base and was moved over on a bunt by Chase Edwards. Reese Vassar drove King in with a groundout.

Neither team scored over the next five innings until Cooper Davis broke the game open with a two-run home run to right field. The home run was the first of the year for Davis. The Sasquatch kept the momentum going in the inning as they loaded the bases. Vassar then drove in his second run of the inning by taking a hit by pitch.

LCC got a run back in the bottom of the sixth as Harlan Rowe had an RBI single to score Sam Davidson. Rowe again drove in Davidson in the eighth to cut the deficit down to 4-2, but the Red Devils were able to get no closer.
