But The Herd battled back, scoring two to tie it in the top of the ninth before the RailRiders came back for a run in the bottom of the ninth to walk-off with a 3-2 win.

Sam Gaviglio had a strong start, giving up two solo home runs over 7 1/3 innings, allowing four hits and a walk with eight strikeouts. Sam Moll finished the eighth and Murphy Smith gave up two hits and a walk to allow the game-winning run with one out in the ninth.
