Andrew Lee got the dreaded blown-save-win for Andrew Lee, whose fielding error came around to score to tie the game in the top of the 9th. R.C. Orlan made the start and turned in five innings, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while fanning five. Jose “Orange” Marmolejos-Diaz led the hit column with a 3-for-4 night, followed by Bryan Mejia and Gardner, who both went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored.

David Kerian went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI while Diomedes Eusebio cracked a two-run HR to cap off Auburn’s three-run 2nd, which gave the Doubledays a 3-1 lead that disappeared when West Virginia scored two in the bottom of the 3rd (then two more in the 4th, and one more in the 5th).
Roster move: OF Darryl Florentino promoted from the GCL Nationals.
