But the hitting didn't stop there, as Chuy Hernandez, Gene Chiu, Adam Rees, Scott Rude and Jordan Jarrell all contributed hits to the evening. Giants' defense was led by catcher Padilla, who kept the balls in front of him all evening at the challenging College of Alameda. Jaydon Tobler saved a Cubs run with his speedy catch in right field and the combination of centerfielder Tomas Martinez-Granata to shortstop Rees to catcher Padilla resulted in a tag out at home as Cub Miles Baxter tried unsuccessfully to stretch a double into an in-the-park homerun. Once again the Giants turned in a team effort to come out on top.

• Emerald Packaging Yankees 3, Bowzers Pizza Indians 4
  This game was a match-up between two leaders in the American League, and the turned out to be as exciting as expected. Both teams showed up with excellent pitching and good defense as their tools for success, and this game was no exception to that either. In the top of the first inning, the Yankees got two runs on a sharp base hit from Wes Irons, and that lead continued until the third inning when Trevor Toy tagged on a fly ball to short left-center. In the fifth inning, the Yankee's Travis Opperud scored on a ground ball by Andrew Pavao, and the Yanks led 3-1 until the sixth when Adam Yim scored on a fielder's choice by Chris Scyphers. The Yanks didn't score in the 7th, but had a great chance to win by getting the first two Indian batters out in the bottom half of the seventh. Then the Indians went to work, with walks to Mike Copple and Sam Merz, who advanced on a wild pitch. Copple tied the game when a throw to third got by the third baseman, and Ian Kayaian came to bat. Ian hit a slow grounder toward the Yankee shortstop, who had to hurry his throw to get the speedy runner. The throw got away, and Merz scored the winning run.

Chris Fenk singled in the 6th but was left on base and Tomas Martinez-Granata made a running catch in center field to save a Duvernay run in the bottom of the inning.

  In a make-up game originally scheduled for May 28, the Indians continued with force against a gritty Washington Manor Mets team. Adam Yim started on the mound for the Indians and pitched 4 shut out innings, his best performance of the year. The Indians scored one in the second and three in the third on hits by Dylan Holt, Chris Scyphers and Yim. Holt came to the mound in the fifth and got the first two outs, then gave up a hit to his San Leandro childhood friend Freddy Ramirez. Another hit, and then a walk loaded the bases. Dylan then walked in a run, then went to 3-0 on the next batter. He found a second wind and threw three straight pitches at the knees for strikes, ending the inning with little damage. That jump-started the Indians, who then scored 4 runs on base hits by Holt and Scyphers, then a bone-jarring 300 foot double by Jordan Jacobs that unloaded the bases. The Indians ended the game in the bottom of the sixth with 3 more runs. Final score Indians 11, Washington Manor Mets 1.

  The Giants fell hard to the Indians on a chilly Father's Day morning as Chris Scyphers pitching dominated with a complete game shut-out. Pitching for the Giants was a team affair, with Jordan Jarrell, Adam Rees, Kyle Renner and Chris Fenk all taking turns on the mound. The Giants did hit, with Jarrell, Scott Rude and Chris Fenk all going 2 for 3, Jarrell, Rees and Rude doubling, Miguel Padilla singling, and several fielders' choice hits, but they could not get anyone in to score. Rude had his best day so far at the plate, slamming a double and single in this game. The Indians' Dylan Holt seemed to always be getting a hit and running the bases and scored two of the Indians' runs. The Giants' defense woke up to execute a triple play, with Chris Fenk catching a fly ball at shortstop and throwing to Charlie Carlise at second to catch his runner off base and Charlie then throwing to Jarrell at first who also caught his runner off base. The Giants also had a fine play in the outfield as Jaydon Tobler robbed Scyphers of a line drive hit to right field in the second inning and a double play when Rees fielded a grounder at shortstop, stepped on second to get the runner and threw to Jarrell at first to get the batter out.
