After Adrian Placencia singled for the Dust Devils 4th straight hit the Emeralds turned to Tyler Vogel out of the bullpen.
Vogel immediately got Ben Gobbel to hit into a double-play. A run did come home to score on the play but it helped the Ems get out of a disastrous spot. Ryan Nicholson hit a 2-out single to score their 3rd and final run of the 5th as they took a 4-0 lead.
