Trey Zahursky (3-5, HR, 3RBI) put Skyline up 3-0 with his second inning two run home run. Michael Sarhatt single-handedly broke the game open with a two-run double in the the 3rd inning and a two-run home run in the 5th to extend the Trojan lead to 8-0. Sarhatt finished the day 4 for 4 with 2 home runs, 4 runs scored and 6 RBI. 

Rowen Barnes earned the win. Pitching into the 6th inning, allowing 4 runs on 5 hits while striking out 4 Modesto batters.
