Sam Combs went two innings for Kenai on the mound with one strikeout and two hits, while Ellery Steffensen pitched five innings with two strikeouts and seven hits. Kodiak pitcher Geovani Martinez tossed four innings with three strikeouts and four hits.

Kenai coach John Kennedy chalked the loss up to inexperience, but still brought up the positives he saw in the team, including the ability to adapt and learn.
