Williamsport had the tying runners on base in the bottom of the seventh but Bryson Stott bounced out to end the game. Corbin Williams laced an RBI triple into the left-center gap in the fifth to tie the game at 1-1 at the time.
Brian Marconi (L, 1-4) surrendered a couple runs in the sixth for the loss. Hsin-Chieh Lin worked five strong innings allowing one unearned run in a no decision.
