- The score would remain 5-3 until two outs in the top of the ninth when Logan Yi singled to center to score both Tahir Parker and Kokinis to even the game at 5-5.
- In the last of the ninth, the Eagles got two on with one out.  Lowe would hit a comebacker to the pitcher Zach Baldassarre who threw to second base to get the out at second base to retire Bobby Ayscue for the second out, but the throw to complete the double play was off target and that allowed Schwarz to score from second for the walk-off win for the home Eagles.
