Epiphany scored another run in the top of the 2nd inning tying the game. The game would remain tied until the top of the 5th inning when Epiphany's lead off hit a single, stole 2nd and advanced to 3rd when the pick off throw from catcher Ryan Hockaday hit the runner in the arm sending the ball to center field.
