The Rascals (9-5) clawed back in the seventh with three runs to tie the game at three. Ryan Wehrle singled with two outs to start the rally and Andy Reilly followed with a walk. After JoJo Batten was hit by a pitch to load the bases, pinch-hitter Kevin Reynolds drew a walk to make it a 3-1 game. Scott Houin then tied it up with a single to center field to plate two and tie the contest at three.

Michael Parker led off the tenth for Washington (4-9) with a single and advanced to second on a Grant Psomas single. After a fielder's choice advanced Parker to third, Jacob Dempsey lifted a sacrifice fly to left to give the Wild Things their first win against the Rascals.
