DAYTON, Ohio - The Quad Cities River Bandits fell behind 5-1 early in the contest but scored four late inning runs to tie the game at five runs a piece.

Both were 4-for-8 while Obregon hit two doubles and Lara (12) clubbed his 12th homer of the season. Adams, Alan Ahmady, and C.J. Beatty each chipped in with a pair of hits. Beatty (5) knocked his fifth round-tripper and scored two runs while Ahmady drove a double and scored a pair of runs.

Justin Smith made the start for Quad Cities surrendering four runs on five hits through three innings of work. Dan Calhoun (6-0) kept his record unblemished by throwing 2.2 innings for the Bandits.
