Ostheim won 3–2 in the tenth on a ball that should have been the third out.

Strand hit a grounder to short with two out and the winning run on second. It took a bad hop off the lip of the grass, over Pellegrini's shoulder, and the Millers' bench was on the field before Osei had picked it up in centre.

Until then it was a good game. Brandvold pitched his best six innings in a month, the two runs he gave up in the fourth came on a bloop and a broken bat, and Tamura tied it in the seventh with a single up the middle. We had the go-ahead run on third in the ninth and the tenth and left it there both times.

Pellegrini has made that play two hundred times this year. The ground in Ostheim made the two hundred and first.
