Saint Mary would come back and tie the game at six in the bottom half as Fuentes hit a double to score three runs on the play. Fuentes would be tagged out to end the inning though as he tried to stretch a double into a triple. York would tack on one run in the ninth to take a 7-6 lead and hold on in the bottom half to secure the win.
