Pittsfield scored twice in the extra inning and had the winning run on base when Bridgewater's pitcher got a ground ball out to end a back-and-forth contest.
 
Bridgewater started the high-scoring game with three in the top of the first, but Pittsfield answered with five in the bottom of the frame.
 
Bridgewater then scored four in the top of the second to go ahead by two, but Pittsfield scored another five in the bottom of the frame for a 10-7 lead.

With two out and runners at second and third with his team down two in the bottom of the sixth, Mason Fox singled to left field to score Chase Albano and Brody Hamilton to tie it.
