Yee's 2-run sixth-inning homer scored Chase Chapman for a 4-4 tie after six innings.

George McCarroll was backed off the plate twice before singling home Cesar Chavira for a 5-4 lead. Wray scored on Walla's groundout for a 5-5 tie.

Yee doubled home ghost runner Chapman for a 6-5 lead in the 10th. Drew Bugner's topped infield single with two out scored Brady Taylor for a 6-6 tie.
