Down 4-1 with two outs in the eighth, the Gary SouthShore RailCats put together a three-run rally to tie the game Friday against the Sioux Falls Canaries.
Again, trailing 6-5 with two down in the 11th inning, J.D. Pulfer roped a two-out double to left-center field to re-tie the game, but a third rally fell short in the 12th and the Canaries took game one 7-6 in front of a season-high 5,625 fans at the U.S. Steel Yard.
After falling behind by one in the third, the RailCats (21-25) tied the game in the fourth, but a three-run fifth made it 4-1.
That's where the game stayed until Jon Jones and Michael Vaughn hit back-to-back two-out doubles to tie the game.
With two outs in the 11th, the Canaries (21-26) put two runs across on a Chris Grayson triple, but Pulfer's double put the game back at a stalemate.
In the 12th, Vikash Ramjit hit a game-winning single, and the 'Cats couldn't capitalize in the bottom half, dropping their third straight and eighth of their last 10.
Sioux Falls starter ,and former RailCat, Stephen Bougher (3-1) pitched lights out in his return to the U.S. Steel Yard, going seven innings and giving up only one unearned run on four hits while striking out three.
