The Twins then doubled their lead in the 5th inning after Jakob Nunez doubled in Dylan Ditzenberger to give the team a 2-0 lead. Twins starting pitcher, Jesse Philp, was strong on the mound for six innings only giving up five hits and one run. The Twins bullpen took over when Gage Wall came in the game for the 7th inning, and as a group they struggled giving up two runs including the walkoff hit in the 9th.

The Bombers, once again came out on top by the end of the 9th. Brazos Valley struggled getting runs through the Twins defense, but in the 6th inning Kyle Bergeron hit a single and later scored off of Ryan Newman’s sac fly to left field. The Bombers scored again in the 7th inning off of a Twins error tying the game at 2-2. The Bombers were silent during the 8th and then came alive again during the bottom of the 9th when the bases were loaded with Ryan Newman at the plate with only one out. Newman hit a ground ball to the Twins short stop Dylan Ditzenburger, who made the throw to first allowing Jordan Yeatts to add the final run to the board.
