Coldwell Banker, shutout through four innings, rallied in the

bottom of the fifth behind consecutive singles by Jase Swinden,

With bases loaded and two out, lead-off hitter Riley Lozano lined

a grand slam down the right field line into the corner to pull

Coldwell Banker to within 6-5.

In the bottom of the sixth, Jack Winn singled and later scored to
