Kings starter Steven Short took the loss, allowing seven hits and three earned runs in 3 2/3 innings.

In the first game, the RiverHawks started early, scoring two in the first inning and two more in the third to take a 4-0 lead.

Up 5-1 in the fifth inning, the RiverHawks iced the game as Josh Sidwell singled and Eric Cannon grounded into a fielder’s choice, each driving in a run.
