Jimmy Kerrigan then doubled to left field that put Amaro on third. Andrew Nist hit a sacrifice fly to right field that knocked in Amaro. Frank D'Agostino singled to left field that scored Kerrigan from second.
The Owls added another run the next inning. Josh Mason walked to start the inning. Reyn Sugai singled to third base to put runners on first and second. Daniel Dragos laid down a bunt to advance the runners one base each, and Derek Peterson then hit a sacrifice fly to centerfield to knock in Mason.
Temple got the lead in the sixth inning. With one out, Nist singled up the middle. D'Agostino doubled down the right field line to move Nist to third. Josh Mason singled to left field with two outs to score Nist to tie the game. Reyn Sugai doubled to centerfield to bat in D'Agostino for the game-winning run.

Hockenberry finished the game with five hits and four runs (zero earned) along with one walk and six strikeouts. Batchelor maintained his perfect ERA of 0.00 on the season with the final out of the game.
