Game 6 - Omaha 5, Salt Lake 3 (10 Inn.)

WP: Andrew Hoffmann (2 - 2) LP: Buck Farmer (1 - 1)

Omaha edged Salt Lake 5-3 in 10 innings on Sunday, powered by Jac Caglianone's two-home-run performance-his fourth straight game with a homer and fifth of the series. After both teams traded early runs, Salt Lake tied it 1-1 in the second but was held in check for much of the game. Omaha reclaimed the lead in the seventh thanks to walks and an error, and Salt Lake stranded the tying run at third in the seventh, eighth, and ninth innings. Chad Stevens tied the game with a solo homer in the ninth, sending it to extras. In the 10th, Diego Castillo drove in the go-ahead run, and Caglianone followed with a two-run homer. Salt Lake got one back in the bottom half but couldn't complete the comeback, as Omaha sealed the win in the series' first extra-inning game.
