Tyler Yankosky blew a 5-4 lead with three runs allowed in the 9th but held the beer for Troy Stainbrook, who gave up six in the top of the 10th on six hits, no walks, and a Victor Robles.

Chris “Chevy” Vann got out of the bases-loaded jam and pitched a scoreless 6th. Brian Klein and Christopher De La Cruz both walked and stole a base in the 9th but a 5C-3 DP that came in between proved to be too much to overcome.
