- LF Mark Payton: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB
- DH-C Kyle Higashioka: 0-5, 1 RBI, 2 K — had the walk-off fielder’s choice … the third baseman threw to second for the inning-ending force out, but he double-clutched and Payton was safe, allowing the run to score from third
- RF Cesar Puello: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI

- RHP Matt Wotherspoon: 2.
