Smith strikes out the next batter giving way to a Smith/Katsiroubas showdown to decide the game with 2-outs. After a scary but eventually foul line drive shot down the left field line, Smith induced a towering pop-up in front of the mound. After a miscommunication between the infielders, Uberti makes a second effort diving catch to end the game. For Al Thomas, Rodriguez went 2-3 with a double and 2 runs scored while Carrera and Kostas each had a hit.
