 Peyton Heath struck out the side for the Red Sox in the second with Georgie Mendoza taking the mound in the bottom of the fifth, shutting the Red Sox down the rest of the way.

 The Giants sent 10 batters to the plate and put up five runs in the bottom of the first with three bases loaded walks with Isaiah Yanez (3 for 4 RBI, double, three runs) and Anthony Villegas both lacing RBI singles. 

 The Red Sox also sent 10 batters to the plate and answered with six runs of their own in the top of the second to take the lead at 6-5.  Oteri and Kyle Wlodarczyk (2 for 4, two RBI, double) started the inning with back-to-back doubles, Abrew drove in a run with a single and was brought home on a Rodriguez double.  

 The Giants retook the lead with three straight singles to start the bottom of the second by Alijah Scott (2 for 4 RBI, double, three runs), Yanez, and Adan Rosas.  Shane Lewis drew a bases-loaded walked while Brady Alves (two RBI, run) was hit by a pitch to score another putting the Giants ahead 8-6 Giants after innings.  

 With the score 8-7 in the bottom of the third,  Collins Schluer and Alijah Scott hit back-to-back doubles to plate another run for the Giants and in the fifth, Yanez doubled with two outs and was singled home by Rosas (2 for 3, RBI, two  runs) to put the Giants ahead 11-8.  

 After Wlodarczyk’s RBI single made the score 11-9 with one out in the sixth, the Red Sox had the tying runner aboard. Rosas, who was marvelous in relief for the Giants, retired the next two batters with a strikeout and groundout to end the game.  Rosas pitched four innings of relief, giving up three runs while striking out six.
