Trailing 5-2 in the bottom of the fourth inning the Crushers needed a spark. Eddie Tisdale led the inning with a walk, but Wayne Bond flied out. Catcher Kylee Hash was next and hit a routine fly ball to center field and it looked to kill any chance of a rally. Before the out was recorded, the home plate umpire signaled a balk on Kalamazoo pitcher Andre Benjamin.
With new life Hash singled to left field and the Crushers were back in business. Jodam Rivera came up and singled to center to score Tisdale, and Hash was able to score from first base when the Kings centerfielder Brandon Anderson let the ball roll under his glove and all the way to the outfield wall. Rivera would score on a fielder's choice by Drew Saylor, and the Crushers tied the game.
Unfortunately the Crushers didn't catch enough breaks as they lost the game 9-6.
