Ryan McMahon tied the game with a bloop RBI single in the ninth. Correlle Prime won it for the Nuts with a two-run double in the eleventh against 66ers' (14-16) reliever Austin Adams (L 2-1).

The Nuts scored in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings to tie the game and send it to extras. Wilson Soriano recorded a RBI groundout in the seventh. Wilfredo Rodriguez whacked a RBI double before scoring on Dillon Thomas' RBI groundout. Thomas finished with two RBI and two hits.
