Leading 3-2 in the ninth, right-hander Rodolfo Sanchez took to the mound for the Threshers for a second inning of work. Following two errors by the second baseman Simmons, and an RBI groundout by Dunedin's Rainer Nunez, the Blue Jays stormed back to secure a 4-3 lead. The Threshers went 1-2-3 in the home half, dropping a third straight game.
