The BlueClaws won game one 2-1, rallying for two, two-out runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. Carlos De La Cruz homered to tie the game on a 2-2 pitch with two outs in the seventh, with the BlueClaws down to their final strike.
DJ Stewart followed De La Cruz with a single and then stole second for his 13th stolen base of the year. Freylin Minyety, added to the roster on Tuesday, then singled home Stewart with the game winning run. It was the first walk-off win of the season for the BlueClaws.
