Oconomowoc kept their bats hot and scored two more runs in both the fifth and sixth innings and took take a 10-8 lead going into the bottom of the seventh. Newcomer Buddy Ebert looked to complete his third inning and get out of a bases loaded jam when Nick Ghelfi hit a two out routine fly ball to right field, only to be dropped allowing two runs to score and the game to be tied. Ebert's night was done and his hopes of picking up a win in his first Five O's game went with it when Oconomowoc went quietly in their half of the 8th. Kevin Kadunc then came in for Oconomowoc and worked a 1-2-3 inning preserving the 10-10 tie going into the ninth. The Five O's then exploded for five runs in the top of the ninth.
