Cruz hit a sacrifice fly to make it 6-4 Bucs. Then Schmitt hit a two-run home run to tie the game at 6-6. McLeer followed that with a home run later in the inning, a three-run shot, to give Colby-Sawyer a 9-6 lead. In the bottom of the sixth, Maritime got all three runs back thanks to a Duffy RBI single and a two-RBI double off the bat of Beechin. The score was 9-9 heading ot the seventh.

The Bucs retired the Chargers in the top of the seventh, and in the bottom of the inning, with Krise on second as a pinch runner, White laid down a bunt, and thanks to a Chargers error, Krise came around to score and earn the Bucs a 10-9 walk-off win in game one.

How It Happened

Like game one, game two featured some back-and-forth. The Bucs opened the scoring in the bottom of the first thanks to a three-run Duffy home run to center field. Maritime led 3-0 after one.

The second inning was scoreless, and in the bottom of the third, Kaczynski hit his second home run of the day to give the Buccaneers a 5-0 lead after three.

In the top of the fourth, the Chargers scored five runs to tie the game at 5-5, thanks to a Bucs error, a Montalvo bases-loaded walk, and a Schmitt single to left field. They then took the lead, 6-5 in the inning. But, in the bottom of the fifth frame, the Buccaneers took the lead once again, this time for good. Loughren doubled to left, Duffy singled to center, Duffy scored on a wild pitch, and Correia singled to center to bring in four runs for Maritime. The Bucs led, 9-6, after five.

In the top of the sixth, the Chargers scored one run back on another Maritime miscue, and the lead for the Buccaneers was back to two runs, 9-7. Maritime added insurance in the bottom of the sixth thanks to a wild pitch and a Bouffard bases-loaded walk. The Bucs led 11-7 after six.

In the top of the seventh, with one out, the Chargers' McLeer hit a double to right center field that was unseen by the Buccaneers outfield. The fog had rolled in, and though the Chargers scored one more run, the game was ultimately called due to fog with one out in the top of the seventh. The game was called in favor of the Bucs, 11-8, completing the doubleheader sweep.
