A hit filled sixth by Arizona put Nevada in a three run deficit going into the bottom half of the inning where Cooper Sheff came up clutch with a huge double down the right field line, bringing in two Nevada base runners to shrink the lead to one. After an efficient, scoreless inning on the mound by 2022, Parker Vint, 2022 Joey Randazzo got the inning started with a single to right field, but the last ditch effort came up short with Arizona sealing the 3-2* victory.
