San Jose started the scoring with a big second inning, when it put up four runs, including a two-run single by Manuel Geraldo.

Following the big inning, the Nuts cut into the deficit in the bottom of the frame when Luis Liberato scored on an error and Connor Kopach scored on a single.

Sean Bouchard scored the game-winning run after he reached base on a walk and advanced to third on a sacrifice fly by Casey Golden.

The single by McLaughlin capped an improbable comeback for the JetHawks, who scored four runs in the inning for the win. Carlos Herrera hit a solo home run earlier in the inning to help set the stage for the game-winning score.

Herrera hit a two-run double in the second inning and Luis Castro hit a solo home run in the third to give the JetHawks a 3-0 lead. The Ports came back to take the lead in the fourth inning when they put up five runs, including a two-run double by Hunter Hargrove.
