The second extra-inning game on the road ended in a 5-4 loss for the Boise Hawks (Short-Season A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies) against the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes (Short-Season A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants.)
In the bottom of the tenth inning with a runner at third for Salem-Keizer, third baseman Sean Roby shot a rocket down the third base line away from a diving LeeMarcus Boyd, scoring Kwan Adkins for the extra-inning walk off win.

Bladimir Restituyo followed with a sacrifice fly scoring Boyd and tying the ballgame. After a single from Tovar, Joe Aeilts collected his third hit of the season on an RBI-single to take the lead at 4-3.
The Volcanoes answered with a run in the ninth inning then Roby smacked in the winning run to defeat the Hawks.
