Oneonta tied it up in the bottom of the second as Ian Wirtz hit a 2-run single to drive in Nathan Bowes who singled to lead off the inning and Lenny Montesano who was hit by a pitch.
Parker Aikens took over on the mound in the fifth and struggled early as a single and 2 walks immediately loaded the bases. Aikens got the next batter to fly out, but Jace Kohler got the go-ahead single to bring home Zach Rowe and give the Outlaws the lead. Jack Clark then hit into a fielder’s choice as the Mohawks could not turn the inning ending double play which allowed Brendan Connolly to score and give Oneonta a 4-2 lead.

Santos rebounded and struck out the next batter, but Nathan Bowes tripled to right allowing Clark to score and make it 8-6. Santos then bounced the next pitch allowing Bowes to score to make it 8-7 and 2 pitches later, hit Dane Richards to put the tying run on base.
Derek Duval entered at that point. After allowing a single hit struck out the next batter and pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to shut down the rally as he recorded the 4-out save to preserve the win 8-7 Mohawks win.
