Down by two, the Bombers came to life in the top of 9th to tie the ballgame and send it into extra innings for the 2nd night in a row. With two outs and the bases loaded, Wyatt Grant recorded his 3rd hit of the game to score Cody Oliphant and Mike Adair

In the 10th inning, both sides went blow for blow, scoring one apiece. Oliphant recorded his 1st hit of the game to score Kyle Atkinson in the top of the inning. Jimmy DeLeon followed suit in the bottom of the 10th for Seguin with an RBI single of his own to send the game deeper into extra innings.

The Bombers scored four in the top of the 11th to blow the doors off the game. Grant had his 3rd RBI at-bat of the game, a walk with the bases loaded to score Adair. Three Bombers, Jackson Cobb, Tyner Hughes, and Wyatt Grant, all scored off past balls.
