Mack Edwards took over for the end of the 12th and the 13th. In the 13th, the AppleSox first baseman Evan Cloyd had a one-out single and was pinch ran for by Theo Kim. Kim moved to second on a sac bunt and Noah Fields grounded a ball to Noah Figuered at second base that resulted in a bobble and error that allowed Kim to score all the way from second.
