The first nine outs of the ballgame were recorded without any damage to either side, and Rochester came to the plate in the bottom of the second with a chance to plate the ballgame’s first run. After two quick outs in the inning, CF Robert Hassell III pulled a single through the right side for the Red Wings first hit of the night. He then put himself into scoring position with his seventh stolen base of the season, and came around to score on another base hit off the bat of Trey Lipscomb to give Rochester an early one-run advantage.
Worcester answered right back on the third pitch of the following half-inning, when 1B Matt Lloyd jumped on an 0-2 slider and deposited it into the Red Wings bullpen in right field to tie the game at 1-1.
DH Phillip Glasser stroked a double into the right-center field gap to get things going for the Red Wings in the bottom half of the third. A wild pitch two batters later moved him to third before SS Seaver King picked up his 17th Triple-A RBI via a single the other way to right, allowing Glasser to score with ease. Game five of the series moved into the fifth with the Red Wings in front, 2-1.
Both offenses stayed busy early as Matt Lloyd roped his second extra-base hit of the night to begin the fourth, this time a ground ball double down the left field line. He moved to third on a passed ball, and came around to score on a sacrifice fly from LF Max Ferguson to knot things up at two apiece.
Pitching settled in from there, and the Red Wings came to bat in the bottom of the ninth with the score still knotted at two. All three batters were unable to reach base, sending game No. 67 of the season to extra innings.
