A fourth run in the frame scored after three straight singles, the last an RBI knock from Dylan Moore, his third hit of the game.
SWB plated their placed runner in the last of the 10th on a Martinez Jr. RBI single, but left the bases loaded to end the game as Kirby Snead finished things off with a popout of Abrahan Guitierrez.
