It was more of the same in the second for Edgar as Jase Apfelbeck batted in Everet Brehm and Brady Stencil to start the four-run frame. Jordan Bunkelman tripled to deep center field scoring Apfelbeck and the route was on.

Greenwood made noise in the top of the third with Rogan Travis delivering a two-run hit and Gabe Ludovic knocking in another run.
Edgar, leading 9-3 entering the bottom of the fifth inning, saw four more runs cross the plate as the game was called due to the 10-run rule.
