ECU added a run in the top of the fifth for a 4-0 advantage.  Lavender drew a one-out walk and junior Andrew Ayrado was hit by a pitch.  Spini then hit a bunt single that also had a throwing error that allowed Lavender to score.

It looked like the Tigers would take the game, but the Rangers scored five runs in bottom of the seventh, including a walk-off grand slam to earn the 4-5 win.
