The win snaps the Sea Dogs five game losing skid. With the game tied 7-7 heading to the top of the ninth inning, Portland broke through courtesy of a go-ahead solo home run by Franklin Arias (2) to give the Sea Dogs a 8-7 lead. The game was tied at 6-6 heading into the eighth inning when Portland put another run on the board. Karson Simas and Juan Chacon lined consecutive singles to start the inning. Following a double steal, Tyler Miller hit a sacrifice fly to score Simas and give the Sea Dogs a 7-6 lead. The Rumble Ponies retaliated in the bottom of the eighth. Wyatt Young reached on a fielding error and then scored on a game-tying RBI triple from Omar De Los Santos. Binghamton started the scoring in the bottom of the first.
