The Cavaliers would respond again with a run in the eighth and a pinch hit two-run homerun in the ninth to send the game to extra innings tied at 5-5.

An Evan Miller sac fly rbi in the 11th inning put Gwynedd back on top, but a Cabrini countered with an RBI double in the home half to extend the contest.  Cabrini would notch their second walkoff decision on the day on an RBI single with the bases loaded and two outs.
