The Mavs would regain a 4-3 lead in the bottom half of the inning with the Vulcano brothers, Johnny and Adam, each driving in a run with singles, with Carter Roth and Hill coming in to score.

Saskatoon would tie things up at four in the top of the eighth inning when Gael Salinas would drive in Murdoch with a single.

The Berries took the lead in the top of the ninth when Nick Stinson hit a three-run homer off JJ Harnett. A few batters later, Harnett would be replaced by Trevor Syer, who got the final out of the inning.

Down 7-4 heading into the bottom half of the ninth, the Mavs were able to come up with one run when Nate King hit a double to score Johnny Vulcano.
