Wenatchee reclaimed the lead with a run in the top of the third.

But another quick response in the bottom of the third off the bat of Harrison Spohn, who delivered a two-run home run to give the Harbourcats their first lead of the series, 3-2.

Victoria would add three more runs in the fifth and another in the sixth to round out the scoring.

The Harbourcats had seven hits in the ballgame but were helped out by four Applesox errors.
