Clark ran into trouble in the fifth when a pair of singles and a hit by pitch loaded the bases however Kent Frantz got the final two outs of the inning to preserve the tie.
 
With two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Brynn Martinez broke the tie by swinging at the first pitch and driving the ball over the right center field wall.
