Salt Lake opened the scoring in the second inning when Sebastián Rivero lined an RBI single to plate Niko Kavadas. El Paso answered in the fourth as Marcos Castañon doubled to the gap to bring home two runs, pushing the Chihuahuas ahead 2-1.

The Bees swung momentum in the fifth inning with a four-run rally. After a fielding error to begin the inning, Tucker Flint delivered an RBI single and Nelson Rada followed with a base hit. Christian Moore then broke it open, blasting a three-run homer to center field for a 5-2 lead.

El Paso's offense was held scoreless after the fourth inning until a three run ninth to extend the game. Castañon led off with a solo home run, and later Luis Campusano tied the game with a sacrifice fly to center, completing a three-run inning and knotting the score at five.

The Bees found an answer in the bottom of the ninth as Cavan Biggio opened the frame with a double and moved to third on Rivero's sacrifice bunt. Salt Lake's hottest hitter, Carter Kieboom, came off the bench in a pinch-hit opportunity and delivered a clutch single up the middle to extend his hitting streak and record his second walk-off of the season, lifting the Bees to a 6-5 victory.
