The Coyotes earned their third come-from-behind victory of the young season in game one, evening the series score at 1-1.

Central Washington got on the board first on an unearned run in the top of the first, but the lead was short-lived as the Yotes answered with a pair in the bottom of the frame.

Another unearned Wildcat run knotted the score at 2-2 in the top of the third, but San Bernardino took the lead for good in the bottom of the fourth with a pair of runs.

RBI single to extend the lead to 4-2.

Garcia recorded an RBI single and Daryl Ruiz (Corona, Calif.) an RBI groundout as the hosts added two insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth to go ahead 6-2.
