This was a wild one.  Erie scored the first five runs and then Portland scored the next eight.  Then Erie got two in the eighth and two in the ninth to win it.  Jackson Melian drove in the tying run and then Clete Thomas drove home the winning run by drawing a bases loaded walk.

Erick Almonte led the way with the bat.  He went two for three with a double, a grand slam and three runs scored.  Melian finished the game with three hits and he drove in two.

Kevin Adroin picked up the win.  He gave up a hit and a walk with strikeout in a shutout ninth inning.
