Kyle Koch Later came up and was able to work a walk bringing up Jake Hanson who singled through the left side for two RBIs putting the Jets within one. In the Bottom of the ninth, looking to make another statement with another comeback the Jets would prevail once again. Turner Lace got things started with a single though the left side, Rupnik would come up with another clutch single and after a Jordan walk, Kyle Koch came up with a clutch single down the left field line for the 4-4 tie.
