The Chinooks used a five-run top of the eighth inning and a nine-run top of the ninth inning as they took a 22-3 victory over the Dock Spiders. It was all Chinooks from the start as they scored one run in the top of the first and proceeded to score in every inning except the top of the fourth. A ground ball hit off of Dock Spiders starting pitcher Justin Doyle (Stevens Institute of Technology) brought catcher Matthew Deprey (Xavier) in to score, which gave the Chinooks an early 1-0 lead. After two sacrifice fly’s in the top of the second that scored two runs, the Dock Spiders offense responded as Jake Surane (Wisconsin-Oshkosh) scored on an RBI single from Kelsen Johnson (St. Petersburg) which made the score 3-1 Chinooks. In the bottom of the fourth, Kelsen Johnson popped a sacrifice fly that brought Jake Surane into score which made the score 4-2. The Chinooks proceeded to put up one run in the top of the fifth, two in the top of the sixth, one in the top of the seventh and then scored 14 runs in the eighth and ninth innings. The Dock Spiders bullpen struggled late in the game after Doyle hurled five innings of five run ball while he struck out one batter.
Chinooks starter Ryan Mullan (Loyola Marymount) received the win, his second of the season, while Dock Spiders starter Justin Doyle was tagged with his third loss of the season.
