WP: Tristan Beck (2-0) LP: Luke Murphy (0-1)

Salt Lake jumped out to an early 4-0 lead behind RBI hits from Gustavo Campero and Ryan Noda, plus a solo homer by Zach Neto.

The River Cats took control in the fifth with a bases-clearing double from Grant McCray and added another run in the sixth on a throwing error and Max Stassi RBI.

Game 2 - Salt Lake Bees 4, Sacramento River Cats 1

WP: Dakota Hudson (1-0) LP: Carson Seymour (0-1) SV: Carl Edwards Jr. (1)

Salt Lake took a 1-0 lead in the third using small-ball tactics, as Yolmer Sánchez scored on a groundout after a hit-by-pitch and wild pitch. Strong pitching from Jake Eder, Connor Brogdon, and Dakota Hudson held the River Cats in check through eight innings, allowing just two hits combined. The Bees extended their lead in the eighth with a clutch two-run double by Niko Kavadas, followed by an RBI single from Zach Neto to make it 4-0. Sacramento threatened in the ninth, scoring once, but Carl Edwards Jr. shut the door with back-to-back strikeouts to preserve a 4-1 Salt Lake victory.

Game 3 - Salt Lake Bees 5, Sacramento River Cats 1

WP: Caden Dana (2 - 1) LP: Mason Black (0 - 1) SV: Jack Dashwood (1)

Carter Kieboom capped a sixth-inning rally with a two-run homer after Niko Kavadas extended his on-base streak to 17 games. The Bees added insurance in the eighth with an RBI double from Zach Humphreys, making it 5-0. Caden Dana pitched efficiently, and Jack Dashwood secured the final out in the ninth after a brief Sacramento rally attempt, locking down a 5-1 Salt Lake win.

Game 4 - Sacramento River Cats 11, Salt Lake Bees 8

WP: Carson Ragsdale (2-2) LP: Brett Kerry (1-2)

Salt Lake jumped to a quick 3-0 lead, highlighted by Korey Holland's first Triple-A RBI and Mitchell Daly's debut sac fly. However, Sacramento responded with 11 unanswered runs between the fourth and seventh innings, including key hits from Marco Luciano, Sergio Alcántara, Grant McCray, and a grand slam by Osleivis Basabe. Mitchell Daly's two-run double in the seventh briefly cut the deficit to one, and Salt Lake made a final push in the ninth with RBI hits from Yolmer Sánchez and Zach Humphreys. But the comeback fell short, as Sacramento held on for an 11-8 win.

WP: Carson Whisenhunt (2-2) LP: Shaun Anderson (0-4)

Sacramento took control early with a three-run first inning, sparked by a leadoff homer from Grant McCray.

Hunter Bishop added a solo homer in the fourth, and Logan Porter's RBI double in the eighth sealed a 5-0 win for the River Cats. Sacramento's pitching dominated, retiring the final 18 Salt Lake batters to clinch at least a series split.

WP: Chase Silseth (2-0) LP: Trevor McDonald (1-1) SV: Carl Edwards Jr. (2)

Salt Lake steadily built a lead with runs in four straight innings, starting with Gustavo Campero scoring on a wild pitch in the third. Chad Stevens and Campero added solo homers in the fourth and fifth, and Zach Humphreys delivered a clutch two-run double in the seventh to make it 5-0. Sacramento rallied for two runs in the eighth, but a timely line-drive double play stopped the momentum. Carl Edwards Jr. handled the ninth with ease, earning his second save and sealing a 5-2 Salt Lake win.
