The Comets regained a 4-3 lead with two runs in the fourth. Jayden Chatman drove in Kole Kinnison, who led off on a double, with a ground ball. Jackson Montee plated Nico Fernandez, who singled and moved to second on an error, with a base hit.

The Tornados loaded the bases to begin the fourth and second baseman Aaron Gomez knocked in a pair of runs with a single up the middle to put them up 5-4. Brieden came in and got out of the jam with a strikeout and double play ball.

Lucas Rexin singled, followed by Trent McCown and Kinnison walks to load the bases for the Comets in the fifth. Austin Wallace knotted the contest with a sac fly, scoring Rexin. 

The game remained tied until the top of the 10th when McCown led off with a double, moved to third on a passed ball and scored on a Kinnison single through the right side.
