Garcia had a hand in 4 of the Patriots 5 runs. Tim Perry scored the first run of the game on a grounder to third by Garcia who later scored after a ground out by Patrick Prosse. Garcia blasted a solo homer in the third and he added a solo shot in the top of the seventh that gave the Patriots a 2-run cushion.
Warwick scored all their runs in the first three innings. Triston Stuples led off the bottom of the first with a walk and scored on a double by Christian Sola. Stuples also led off the third inning with a walk and scored on a homerun to right field by Jahleel Sewer that tied the game at 3-3.
