After scoring three runs and taking a 7-6 lead in the top of the ninth inning, the Panthers came back to scored one run in ninth and 10th innings to salvage a split with the Wolves, 8-7.

Trailing 6-3 in the top of the ninth inning in the nightcap, Ehler lofted a sacrifice fly to plate Jake Montas (Ellington, Conn.), who singled with one out.  Zachary Royka (Naugatuck, Conn.) then drilled a two-run single to give the visitors a 7-6 advantage.

After eventually loading the bases with a three walks, one of them intentionally, Bryan McGrath delivered a long fly-ball single to the left field fence.  He was swarmed between first and second base after driving Alex Rives in from third base.
