With bases loaded and one out, Green blasted a base hit to left, sending two runners in. Diego Gonzales capped the scoring off an Isaiah Pacheco single to cut the margin to 8-3.Diaz scored again in the top of the seventh after tagging up on a Daniel Rios sacrifice fly, but it was all the Rustlers would allow as GWC responded with four runs in the bottom half of the inning to secure the 12-4 victory.
