Two wild pitches by Brooklyn reliever Luis Silva brought in the tying runs for the Cutters. Then Kendall Simmons lifted a sacrifice fly to right that drove home the winning run with Corbin Williams racing in from third.
Bryson Stott had an RBI single in the game. Johan Rojas had a triple and a run scored and the center fielder also made yet another terrific catch in the first inning racing down a deep-drive to the gap in left-center.
