Roger Bernal struck out swinging but center fielder Clayton Brown singled and Dan Klein reached on an error to extend the inning. On a 1-2 count, Albany starter Justin Brantley (Siena) got designated hitter PJ Leto (Lurleen B. Wallace C.C.) to ground out to end a dramatic end to the first game of the doubleheader..
Jeff Brantley picked up his fourth win of the season going the distance. He allowed two runs on six hits, walked one and struck out eleven while Golden Eagles starter Max MacNabb (San Diego) allowed three runs on three hits, walking four and striking out four across four and two-third innings.
