PBA cut their deficit in half in the bottom of the seventh as they plated a pair on a two-RBI single to right field. After Barry drove in his third run of the game with a single to left field, Palm Beach Atlantic scored four runs in the bottom of the ninth to send the game to extra innings.
 
After a scoreless 10th inning, Christopher Rabias led off the 11th with a solo homerun, wrapping the shot around the left field foul pole. In the bottom half of the frame, the Sailfish had a one-out double, but they could not score the game-tying run.
