Garcia was then scored in by freshman left fielder Bryan Sanders to extend the Vikings' lead 3-1.

In the bottom of the fifth, the Vikings continued to bring the offensive momentum with a run from freshman Alex Seguine, and an RBI double from freshman third baseman Evan Vazquez to score in Pinal.

The Seahawks score another run in the top of the eighth, but the Vikings put two more on the board from Sanders and freshman second baseman Kamau Neighbors to finish the game with the 7-2 win.
