LaMonte Wade Jr was then hit by a pitch and Randy César followed with a single up the middle to plate Andreoli as the tying run.
Wilin Rosario's fifth homer of the season cut the lead to 4-3 in the eighth.
Zack Littell pitched well for the Wings allowing four runs on seven hits over seven innings. Three of the four runs allowed came in the fourth inning when Zack Zehner and Matt Lipka picked up RBI hits for the RailRiders.

The Wings can still win the series with a win in the finale Thursday night.
