Miguel Diaz came in to pitch the ninth and was one out away from preserving the shutout, but gave up a two-run homer to Jose Briceño with two outs in the ninth. The Storm Chasers couldn’t finish off the comeback as Diaz closed it out to win 4-2.

He got the Hens on the board in the bottom of the first with a two run bomb to center, a lead which the Hens would not give up the whole game.
