City lead to one.
The Warbirds piled on some more in the bottom of the seventh, scoring two to take the lead 3-2. Handelfry Encarnacion started it with an RBI single and Jose Anderson followed it up with an RBI single of his own.
Yeiferth Castillo smacked an opposite-field double to tie the game back up at three apiece in the top of the eighth.
