GAME ONE

Slow and steady wins the race was the theme of game one, as the Javelinas brought one run across the plate in four different innings and holding the Rattlers to just one.

The Rattlers scored their lone run of the game in the bottom of the fourth, but the Hogs responded again in the sixth, tacking on one more run. Garrett Thompson collected an RBI thanks to a fielding error by the Rattler's left fielder, bringing home Chapman for a score of 4-1.

Kyle Perales followed up with a three-run blast over the left field fence. The homer is his fifth of the season.
