The lone run of the game came with two outs in the Katy half of the sixth inning. With two outs, Mike Thaler singled to left, followed by Brian Ferris being hit by a pitch. Both runners advanced on a wild pitch, and then Nick Barrios singled sharply up the middle to score Thaler with the game winning run.
