Erie entered the ninth inning down 1-0 and nobody was probably more upset then Eulogio de la Cruz, who pitched eight great innings. He gave up just one run on five hits and a walk with six strikeouts.

Fortunately, the Sea Wolves got some timely hitting.  Jeff Larish hit a leadoff homer in the bottom of the ninth to send the game into extra frames, and then in the tenth, Steve Torrealba went yard with a walk off solo homerun to end the game.  Danny Zell ended up picking up the win with two perfect innings of relief in which he struck out four batters.
