Batavia (16-26) tied the game in the sixth when Anfernee Seymour reached on a base hit, with a subsequent error moving him to third beford he scored on Travis Brewster's groundout.

The Muckdogs won the game in the 10th when Taylor Munden doubled, was bunted to third, and scored on Giovanny Alfonzo's sacrifice fly to right field.
