- Trevor Busby leveled the game in the sixth inning, recording a sacrifice fly to plate TJ Rogers to tie the game at two.
- After California jumped ahead 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Kallinger recorded a game-tying RBI groundout in the ninth to tie the game and force extra innings.
- The Golden Bears walked off in the bottom of the 10th, earning a bases-loaded walk to secure the 4-3 victory.
- Kallinger paced the green and gold at the plate, going one-for-five, with a home run, two RBI, and a run scored.
- Rogers and Isaiah Landry were active on the basepath, swiping one base apiece during the contest. The duo remained perfect in stolen-base attempts on the season, combining for 11 stolen bases.
- Eight players recorded a hit for the Dons, while every batter reached base. Tino Vasell led the team with two base knocks, and Rogers and Brendan Burke totaled a team-best two walks.
