In the nightcap, Blake Howard launched a home run in a 3-for-4 day with three RBIs and a pair of stolen bases. PWV plated five in the second, busted out an eight-run third and put the finishing touches on another run-rule win with three in the fourth.

Brayden Ruddell notched two hits, four RBIs and two stolen bases. Lucas Lusk, who snared the win on the mound in Game 2 with four innings of one-hit ball and four strikeouts, had three hits and three stolen bases.
