Mesa won the second game, after dropping a 1 match earlier. It was the season opener for Mesa, and left Utah with a 7 record. Mesa's Sutherland Gary opened the second game, but was pulled in the second inning after he walked the bases full with two out. Barry Lersch came in to put out the fire and went on to pitch hitless ball the rest of the way. Mesa got its first run in the third inning on a single by Tex Tolman and a Triple by shortstop Bob Andrews. The Club scored its last two runs in the sixth on four consecutive singles. In the first game, Utah pitcher Dave Varvell yielded only one run in the second in hurling his club to "ictory. Jerry Chick doubled and Varvell walked three men behind him to spoil a shutout.
