After going down 2-0 early, the Vaqueros got on the board with two runs of their own in the top of the fifth. Tyler Imbach opened the inning with a single through the left side. Gabe Baldavino walked and Matty Fung singled through the right to load the bases.
Mark Hernandez earned an RBI on a hit by pitch and Haimovitz notched a sacrifice fly RBI as Imbach and Baldavino scored SBCC's first two runs of the day.
