Acalanes Dons JV got things moving in the second inning, when Tyler Worthington grounded out, scoring Sammy Lee. In the bottom of the second inning, Northgate tied things up at one. In the third inning,  Sammy Lee was behind the plate had an incredible throw, way ahead of the runner to get him out at third base.  However, Northgate pulled away for good with five runs in the third inning. 

The Dons put up three runs in the seventh inning. Miller Smith hit a deep single to center. The Broncos pitcher walked a few Dons, loading up the bases and waking in one run.   Sammy Lee hits a clean single to left field, knocking in  Aidan Beers and Mason Michlitsch in the last inning  of the game.
