Brian also helped himself out by picking off three different runners at 2nd base. Stoffel struck out the side in the first inning but a walk, a stolen base and a single put RBV up 1-0. In the third inning Anthony Alvarez blasted a solo home run to tie the game at 1-1. However in the bottom of the 3rd a single, a triple and a infield ground out allowed RBV to move out to a 3-1 lead, which was increased to 5-1 in 4th. In the top of the 5th inning the Mavs loaded the bases on Oseguera's single, Stoffel being hit by a pitch and Alvarez walk.
