Athletic Club KC center fielder Jesús Vargas had a terrific game. He was 4 for 4 with a triple, a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Columbia beat the U-21, 5-4. Vargas was named the player of the game despite the loss. The winner was Columbia reliever Danial Apodaca, now 2-0. The loser was Ernesto Lucero. The Athletic Club KC losing streak has now reached 4 games.

Columbia took the lead in the bottom of the eighth. With two out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Rob Gray stroked a run-scoring single to make it 5-4, River Rats.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Gray told the Columbia Herald.
