Heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, it looked like the Coyotes might get the sweep after scoring the go-ahead run in the top of the eighth. But CSI's Joey Rossi worked a lead-off walk and advanced to second on a wild pick off attempt. Dugan Shirer laid down the sacrifice bunt to get Rossi to third. Then Harrison Ramey's double tied the game up a 3. CSI head coach Boomer Walker inserted Marcelin in to pinch run. The Coyotes intentionally walked Bodie Cooper. That's when Garvin laced the walk-off rbi hit into right center.
Golden Eagle starter Mason Hilty kept CSI in the game for seven innings, giving up just three hits with seven strikeouts and one unearned run. Tyler Burdett came into the game in the eighth to earn the win on the mound, giving up three hits and one earned run with one strikeout.
