In the bottom of the 6th pinch hitter Gabe Yanssens pulled through with a big hit that was the spark for the Barons to capture 1 run off Nathen Meeks broken bat ground ball and to cut the lead in half. Benny Dottle came in the 7th inning and closed out the Bulls to give the Barons a chance in the bottom of the 7th. Shane Cato hit a huge double to start the bottom of the 7th, followed by a Chase Tomko off the wall double, Anthony Ryan and Frankie DeLuca had huge walks, and finally Benny Dottle came up with the bases loaded and hit a hard ground ball past the shortstop to score Tomko for the win!
