In the top of the 9^th inning, Ethan Mann had a diving play to rob an extra base hit and helped keep the game tied. The Potters got 2 walks and reached on an error to load the bases up for Michael Shoenberger who hit a line drive up the middle of Ryan Pierce to win the game. The Potters celebrate the dramatic walk off win and improve to 3-2 on the season.

Keshawn Ogans reached base 6 times at the top of the Potters lineup to provide a stead hand offensively. Michael Shoenberger was the player of the game though with a 4-6 line with 4 RBI on the night and the walk-off single. Potters had some strong pitching performances from Ian Miller and Marlin Brucato. The duo combined to go 5 and 2/3 innings giving up only 2 earned runs on 7 hits, 3 walks and striking out 5. Tanner Kane was able to limit the damage in the 8^th inning by striking out the final hitter of the inning with 2 runners in scoring position.
