 Paul Tone – 6 Canyon State – 7 

A close game to start the day as wind and cold kept runs at a premium. A Dave Baldwin base hit to right scored the winning run from first base in the bottom of the seventh to give Canyon State a 7-6 win. Craig Hone and sub Rick Staeb led Canyon State with three hits. In addition to knocking in the winning run Case also had the lone extra base hit in the game with a double.
