On the offensive side, left fielder Khalid Johnson had two hits and had one RBI (run batted in) and his teammate Christiaan Herkemij (designated hitter) had two hits and had one RBI.

In game two of the doubleheader, pitcher Decklan Cashman started the game on the mound for the Vikings and pitched two 2/3 of an inning while striking out one batter and walking six batters. With this loss, it moves Cashman’s overall record to 1-2. Pitcher Ryan Craig came in to pitch the final four innings of the game and struck out three batters. Craig also surrendered two runs on three hits.

Just like in game one of the doubleheader, Johnson once again had two hits and collected an RBI. First baseman Dante Peretti and shortstop Nick Simmons also each collected an RBI, however it was not enough to overcome the ten runs scored by Sierra College.
