With the score tied at 3-3, San Pedro put together a two-out rally in the fifth inning to take a 4-3 lead over Wilmington Banning in their Marine League showdown.

Ronnie Galosic doubled off the netting in right field and scored on Jacob Johnson’s single through the right side of the infield. San Pedro eventually loaded the bases and had a prime opportunity to add to its lead before Banning’s Jonathan Hernandez struck out Danny Matienzo.
