The Bearcats battled back with four runs in the seventh inning to get as close as 10-8, but the Devils added two more insurance runs late to earn the narrow 11-9 victory.

Five different players had at least two hits with Nicholas Pomo-Roman leading the way by batting 3-for-5 with three singles, two RBI, one run and a stolen base.

Angel Tejeda went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and a two-run homer deep to left field in the fifth inning for his team-leading third homer of the season.
