In the first game of the doubleheader, Alan Rombkowski fanned seven batters over 6.1 innings pitched to blank the Bombers, 5-0. In the second game of the doubleheader, Derick Fera struck out seven batters over 5.0 innings pitched while the Lakers offense, led by Matt Burns and Troy Loparco, who each drove in two runs, keyed the team to victory, 8-5.
