Following a scoreless third inning for both sides, two RBIs in the top of the fourth for Hudson Valley gave them a 2-1 lead, as the Keys went off the board in the bottom of the frame to stay down by one heading into the fifth.

With both teams going off the board in the fifth, the bottom of the sixth featured an RBI double from Payton Eeles and a Hudson Valley Error, giving the Keys the lead right back at 3-2 through six innings of play Sunday afternoon.

In the eighth, Eccel Correa threw a scoreless top of the eighth to keep his team ahead by three going into the ninth, as Frederick looked to earn three straight wins for the first time all season in the series finale.

The Renegades rallied to tie the game at five apiece in the top of the ninth off a solo home run and two-RBI double, evening things up at five all heading into the bottom of the frame.

After the Keys went scoreless in the bottom of the ninth to force extras, two runs came across in the top of the 10th for Hudson on an RBI groundout and Keys error, handing the visitors a 7-5 lead with Frederick down by two.
