Tim Remes laid down a sacrifice bunt, pushing the runners into scoring position. McVaney then delivered a two-out, two-run double off the wall in center, tying the game 5-5.

Bowie would then win the game in the last of the 10th against Erie reliever Kurt Spomer . Aderlin Rodriguez doubled with one out. With two outs, Jeff Kemp was intentionally walked and Marin singled, loading the bases for Salcedo . Salcedo lifted a line drive, just out of the reach of the second baseman Watkins, scoring Rodriguez for the win.
