Bellingham slugged their way to a seven-run eighth inning on six hits and two walks drawn in the inning. Rominic Quiban had a go-ahead RBI to get the scoring started and Blake Balsz hit a bases-loaded double that capped off the final three runs of the inning.
Caleb Cassie was tasked with collecting the final six outs of the game and went on to do so while allowing two runs on four hits and three walks with two strikeouts. Sato earned the win with his 1.1 innings of relief, it was his third win of the season and he is now 3-0 in 14 appearances.
