After the Crawdads (39-28), who have won 13 of their last 14 games, tied the game on a run-scoring ground-out by Nomar Mazara in the ninth off Cody Forsythe, Kellin Deglan took Forsythe (3-2) deep in the 10th inning to give the 'Dads the lead.

Asche has been out since May 21st with a left hamstring strain. He went 2-3 with his two home runs and played five innings in the field.
