G1: Zac Gallen allows only 1 hit through first 6 frames and Chinook lead 3-0, but he runs into some trouble in T7. Joe Jimenez comes in and appears to work out of a bases loaded jam w/ a clutch 2-out K of Tucker Barnhart. But the ball eludes Seby Zavala and Barnhart reaches on the K. Granted the 4th out, Sam Haggerty hits a grand slam and the Pirates go on to win 5-4.
G2: Nice duel between Clayton Kershaw and Cal Quantrill. Chinook lead 1-0 going to T9, but Tommy Edman hits a solo shot to send it to extras. Both teams squander multiple opportunities to score in the 10th and 11th, before Thunder Bay walks it off w/ a Jurickson Profar 2-out single in the 12th.
G3: For the 3rd game in a row, Chinook get a great start and appear to have the game in hand leading 4-0 after two innings thanks to an ineffectual Madison Bumgarner. But the Pirates claw back off Spencer Strider, eventually tying the game in T7 on an Eugenio Suarez HR. Hunter Renfroe hits a TRH in T11 to put Northcoast up 7-4. After getting the first out in B11, NCP relievers at that point had pitched 8.1 innings of 1-hit relief. Alex Verdugo broke the spell w/ a solo home run. Then Daniel Hudson hit the next 2 batters and walked the 3rd, to bring up Julio Rodriguez who at that point had two hits on the season (hitting .050 something). Rodriguez lined a single to right to tie it again 7-7. Then Jake McCarthy walked it off w/ a shot to right. Chinook 10-7 in a wild one.
