Silas Moore led the Tri-C with three hits while Mason Koons, Jake Downey, Connor Bozak and Kyle Koehler all had two hits for the Tops but it took a Silas Moore sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th inning to score Bozak from third after a lead off triple.

Dylan Hatfield shut down the Eagles in the Top of the 10th to set the stage for a dramatic ending. Jacob Connery led off the inning with a double and after a pitching change, Jon Yackovic sacrificed Connery to third. Silas Moore walked.
