With the game tied at eight Wilson Matos led off the ninth with a single up the middle and Brett Hoberman drew a walk. With two out in the inning Matos stole third and scored on a Lynk RBI single that fell between the shortstop and left fielder.

Anthony Tur, who threw two innings, allowed a two out single in the bottom half of the inning but shut the door striking out Heggie on a full count to secure the win.

Travis Schindler went 2-for-3 with a double and 2 RBI, while Edward Malinoski, Jr. also drove in a pair of runs. Brandon Bautista also had two hits with a pair of doubles for the Roos.

Jake Vierno earned the no-decision giving up three earned runs but struck out 10 batters, while Tur gave up just two hits and no runs with three strike outs in two innings of relief.
