In the sixth, the away team tied the game and then took the lead in the seventh when Tristan Peters scored on a bases-loaded walk. Montgomery padded their lead with three runs in the eighth to make it 9-4 heading into the ninth.

With two outs and two men on in the ninth McAfee hit a 412-foot homer to bring the team within one. Jose Torres then belted a ball to the wall, but it was caught for the final out.
