Brockton responded in the home half as Jack Thomas Wold hit an RBI ground-rule double and Hemmanuel Rosario hit a sacrifice fly to push the score to 2-1.
Two runs came across for the Bird Dawgs to take the lead back in the top of the second when Tyler Blaum ripped an RBI single and Stephen DiTomaso hit a sacrifice fly to make it 3-2.
The Rox found two more runs in the bottom of the second as JR DiSarcina tripled to drive in a run, and Keagan Calero hit an RBI groundout to take a 4-3 lead.
The Bird Dawgs tied it in the third when Cameron Masterman hit a solo shot to left field to make it 4-4.
In the fourth, the Bird Dawgs jumped in front with back-to-back RBI doubles from Blaum and Pino to take a 6-4 lead.
Brockton exploded for seven unanswered runs from the fifth to the seventh innings. Hemmanuel Rosario smacked a go-ahead three-run homer in the fifth. Wold tripled, and Rosario doubled to bring in a run each in the sixth, and Derek Bender smacked a two-RBI single to take an 11-6 lead.
The Bird Dawgs left the bases loaded in the eighth and two on in the ninth, falling to Brockton 11-6.
