In the bottom of the 10th inning, center fielder Brendan Jones hit a walk-off single that scored the automatic runner Cole Gabrielson and won the game for Somerset (22-16, 57-50) against right-hander TJ Shook (5-2). The run was unearned against Shook, who pitched a scoreless ninth inning to force extra innings. Binghamton went down in order in the top of the 10th inning and left-hander Ryan Anderson (3-1) earned the win.

With Binghamton down 1-0 in the top of the eighth inning, Somerset made a pitching change with a runner on first base and one out. Right-hander Michael Arias entered the game and on his second pitch, catcher Kevin Parada smashed a go-ahead opposite-field two-run home run that put Binghamton ahead 2-0. It marked Parada's ninth home run of the season. Third baseman Jacob Reimer led off the frame with a walk.

Parada went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks, as he reached base four times. He recorded his 16th multi-hit game and 11th multi-RBI game.

Somerset tied the game in the bottom of the eighth inning on third baseman Dylan Jasso's RBI single off right-hander Joshua Cornielly.

Right-hander Ben Simon dominated out of the bullpen in his second-career Double-A appearance. Simon recorded three strikeouts over two hitless and scoreless innings and only one batter reached on an error. Simon has combined for four scoreless frames in his first two Double-A appearances.
