Milwaukee added three more runs in the second inning with small ball, an RBI single, a sac fly, and a Pacific error, making it 4-0 Panthers after two. 

Myers tripled in the bottom of the third inning to put Pacific on the board, bringing Metcho and sophomore Jarryd Wood home. Pacific added a third run in the fifth with a Nemivant RBI groundout but could not capitalize on runners in scoring position to bring home the tying run. 

GAME TWO

Pacific got on the board first, driving two runs on a Bobo sacrifice fly and a Nemivant single. Milwaukee tied it up in the top of the third inning with two RBI singles. 

The Panthers added two more runs in the top of the fifth as small ball remained the name of the game; two RBI singles and the Panthers took the lead. 

Pacific threatened in the sixth inning, getting runners on first and second with no outs but could not find the go-ahead hit to close the gap. 

The Tigers got the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the seventh with a runner on first. Two strikeouts and a fly ball ended Pacific's comeback chances and the series.
