A double to the right field wall off the bat of Vonder Haar scored Hunt all the way from first for a single tally in the second.

Another three runs in the third scored after two outs.  Weller drove in two runs with a single to right and he later scored on a Vonder Haar single.  Weller drove in two more in the fourth.
