The Cheladas took the early lead in the first on a Bryan Andrade two-run home run (4) launched down the left field line 411 feet.

The Giants got their lone run on a Rod Barajas Jr. RBI-single in the fifth. Romeo bounced back in the sixth, striking out the side to end his strong outing against a potent San Jose offense.
The Cheladas got one more across in the bottom of the fifth on a Durrington RBI-single, making it 7-1, the final score in the Stockton win. Devin Kirby recorded a save, pitching a scoreless final three innings allowing just one hit with three strikeouts.
