The Bombers threatened in the bottom of the 9th, as Matt Milligan led off the inning with a single. John Hale came on as a pinch runner, advancing to second base on a bunt by John Cannon, but flamethrower Jason Jester of the Pump Jacks sent down the next two Bombers on strikeouts to close the game and get the win.
