Joey Norrito (2-2) walked J.T. LaFountain leading off the top of the ninth to start the deciding rally. Jeff Beachum pinch ran for LaFountain and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Estee Harris. Austin Jackson extended his hitting streak to eight games with a line single to right, setting up Battle’s RBI groundout to third.
