In the 8th, Zach Jones singled with one out. Mike Tarens had an apparent single, but Julian Blea, running for Zach was forced at second. Phil drew a two-out walk. Angelo singled to left to load the bases. Bob Levine stroked a 2-run single to score Tarens and Phil, and tie the game.
Panos Lagos
That set the stage for the bottom of the ninth. Cy Rogers walked with one out. Hiro Tarumi ran for him. With Hiro running, Mike Sasso popped one to short left field. If they would have been able to get to the popup, Hiro would probably have been doubled off. But the popup fell safely to put runners at first and second. Panos then stroked a single to right center to drive in Hiro with the winner.
