In the bottom of the fourth, Andreaus Lewis led off the frame with a solo shot.

After a walk from Trevor Hansen and a double for Dylan Mayer, Guriyandel Salva worked a walk to set up the bases loaded for Hunter Sute, who tallied a two-run single to cut the deficit to 8-3.

Manhattan's final run of the day came on an RBI double from Lewis in the seventh inning.
