Cougars Defeat Bears, 8-6
Thanks in large part to shortstop Kody Garcia, the Rohnert Park Cougars beat the Traverse City Bears, 8-6. Garcia was 3 for 4 with 2 doubles and 2 walks. He scored 2 times. Rohnert Park reliever Jon Messer snagged the win, upping his record to 4-0. Andrew Tanner shouldered the loss. With the win, Rohnert Park upped its record to 39-38.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the 11th for Rohnert Park. That's when David Pierce, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2022 draft, hit a 2-run home run off Andrew Tanner to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"It's always nice to be on the winning side," Pierce told the Rohnert Park Citizen. "But we take nothing for granted."
