Scoreless eighth and ninth innings from Bowie’s Kyle Virbitsky and Bradley Brehmer (L, 4-5) along with Harrisburg’s Michael Cuevas (W, 5-11) sent the game into extra innings.
On the first pitch delivered by Brehmer in the 10th, Daylen Lile lined a go-ahead RBI single to left to put Harrisburg ahead 4-3. JT Arruda singled Lile to third and advanced to second on the throw.
