Game Two
Right-hander, Tyler ‘Strike Throwing’ Phillips (1-0, 1.00) got the start for the Riders. He pitched 5 innings, allowing one run on two hits, including a home run and struck out seven. One thing about Tyler is he does not issue many walks.

At the plate, Ryan Dorow went 2 for 3 with a run. Diosbel Arias went 1 for 3 with a run.
