Lake Elsinore played its best game of the season. Garrett Hawkins was lights out on the mound, and the bullpen carried the torch after he left. Meanwhile, the offense could not stop scoring runs. Albert Fabian drove in five. James Wood did it all, with a double, a walk, and a stolen base, driving in two.
DSL Padres (Won 16-8 vs. DSL White Sox) (26-15 on the season)

The DSL Padres did not trail for long. They answered back emphatically in the top of the third with a whopping 11 runs, spearheaded by back-to-back home runs by Linares and Conliffe. The DSL Padres never looked back, scoring another run in the fourth, three in the sixth, and once more in the seventh.
