Winston-Salem (55-66) jumped in front quickly in the bottom of the first inning. Rikuu Nishida led the game off for the Dash with a single and reached third on a throwing error. William Bergolla drove in Nishida on a sacrifice fly, giving Winston-Salem a 1-0 lead.
Dash starter, Aldrin Batista, cruised through the Brooklyn (58-63) order through five innings, but in the top of the sixth, Chris Suero tied the game with a double, knotting the two sides at one.
