Jose Vargas aking his way around thanks to a fielding error on the play.
C.J. Keckler added to it in the third when he doubled to left-center to plate Vargas and
Jorge Lucero.
Jack Brinkley then had a ground ball that plated Torppa.
Evan Gilliam singled in
Josh Smith and later scored on Mackie's double down the right field line to move the lead to 9-1.
Vargas scored on a throwing error in the sixth. Torppa drove in Lucero with a single and later scored on a double play ball. Smith made it home on a wild pitch before a fielding error plated Mackie.
The offensive effort proved plenty for
