Preston Tucker broke a 6-6 tie in the seventh with a home run into the rightfield bullpen. The Hooks had established an early 4-0 lead via back-to-back blasts by Max Stassi and Domingo Santana. The RockHounds responded with six unanswered runs - three in the first and three in the second off Ross Seaton. T.J. Geith, recently called up from Lancaster, set down each of the eight men he faced, striking out three. Jonas Dufek, who notched the victory in his Double-A debut, turned in an identical line. Both relievers were bolstered by a pair of outstanding defensive players from Jio Mier at shortstop. Patrick Urckfitz held the line with a eighth inning. Chia-Jen Lo came on in the ninth and induced a roller up the third base line off the bat of lead-off hitter Tyler Ladendorf. The ball bounced off the bag and kicked past Jonathan Meyer for a bad-hop double. Lo notched the final two outs with the tying run 90 feet away.
