The game was tied 4-4 in the top of the 9th when Wenatchee's James Castagnola came through with an RBI-double to give the AppleSox a 5-4 lead.

Vasser coaxed the first two outs but then loaded the bases, surrendering the game-tying run on a bases-loaded walk. Conner Stewart grounded a slow, bounding ball to the left side of the infield where Castagnola bobbled, allowing the winning run to score.
