A leadoff single in the 10th inning from Donovan Walton plated Luis De Los Santos, who started as the zombie runner. With one out in the bottom of the 10th, Andrew Pintar tied things at four with an RBI single against Mets reliever Austin Warren (3-0) to bring in zombie runner Harrison Spohn.

Syracuse broke through in the 11th. Zombie runner Jared Young moved to third on a ground out and after an intentional walk from Luarbert Arias (1-1), scored on an error. Diego Castillo then made it 6-4 with an RBI single.
