The Stripers took the Bats to extra innings with a game tying run in the ninth inning, then won it in extras with a walk off home run. Gwinnett struck first in the second inning by bringing in a run on a Jack Lopez double with two outs. In the third they had an opportunity to extend that lead out when a leadoff walk to Travis Demeritte and then a hit batter and fielding error loaded the bases with one out. This brought up Rafael Ortega, who came through with a base hit to push the lead out to 2-0, but Sean Kazmar was thrown out at home trying to score and Stripers could not come up with another run to push in more insurance.
