The lead was shortly lived as the Cougars bounced right back and took the lead in the bottom half of the inning by scoring three times, giving the Cougars a 5-3 lead.
Down by two heading into the ninth the Snappers started the come-back off with a one-out walk from Gonzales. Wang Wei Lin came on to pinch run for Gonzales. Reggie Williams would also walk to put the tying run at first as James Beresford loaded the bases by smacking his first single of the game. Hector Garcia who had came in to close out the game walked Hicks to bring in a run making the score 5-4.
