Andrew Sohn's two-run single brought it to 5-4 before Joe Campagna's pinch-hit RBI infield single tied the game.

The game remain tied until Lake Erie pushed across three in the 10th on an RBI double by Connor Oliver, a single by Zack Gray and a sacrifice fly by Isaac Benard. Washington got a run back and had the tying run on second in the bottom half but was unable to complete the comeback.
