HOW IT HAPPENED:
Las Vegas took an early 2-0 lead in the first inning. 1B Brett Harris doubled home two runs with two outs. Round Rock took advantage of four walks to start the second inning. C Cooper Johnson drew the fourth walk to force in a run and an RBI groundout by CF Jarred Kelenic scored a second run before an RBI single from SS Cam Cauley gave Round Rock a 4-2 advantage.
Las Vegas answered with two runs in the third on a two-RBI single by DH Joey Meneses, then added two more in the fourth when C Brian Serven belted a two-run homer. A solo blast by Meneses in the fifth extended the lead to 7-4. Round Rock managed just two hits over the final five innings and the 7-4 score stood as the final.
