The boys from Kansas fell behind early but the Liberal BeeJays beat the San Diego Waves 8-4. The Waves took an early 1-0 lead after the first but the BeeJays fired back with three runs in the third inning. The BeeJays last played against the Fairbanks Goldpanners in a exhibition match victory. An eighth inning rally by the Waves - scoring three runs but them back in the lead but the BeeJays would also have a tremendous eighth inning where they scored five runs. Those five runs came off a pitching meltdown by the Waves, in a sequence where one man was already on base a batter was hit, the next better was walked - followed up by a base hit to mid right field, an infield hit to center right and a powerful blast that resulted in a triple and sent in two runners off a fielding error. The Waves had no answer in the ninth and fell four runs short in the end.
