The Comets (3-1/49-30) trailed by as many as four runs and entered the ninth inning down, 7-6. Michael Chavis evened the score with a solo homer, and Kody Hoese later capped a two-out rally with a go-ahead two-run double. The River Cats (1-3/37-42) jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning. The Comets chipped away at the deficit with three runs in the third inning, with a RBI double by James Outman and two-run double by Ryan Ward. Sacramento extended its lead back to four runs between the third and fourth innings and carried a 7-3 lead into the sixth inning.
