In the second game of the two game series the game was tied at 1-1 until the end of the third inning when the Padres outscored the Spartans 9-1. The Padres had 10 hits in the contest.
Gonzales won the JV game 10-9 and received good pitching from Michael Duby and Nick Ortiz. Vidal Franco, Alex Morga, and Izaak Ochoa led the Gonzales offense.
