The Krill fell behind the Trops 5-0 before coming back to take a 7-6 lead after six innings. The Trops tied it up in the 7th on a Carlos Schumann solo blast, his 3rd of the season. The game went into extras until the bottom of the 12th when Hawaii reliever Alex Garcia gave up a run scoring double giving the Krill a series tying win.
Martin ‘Lumps’ Garcia struggled through his start allowing four runs on three hits and seven walks in three innings of work. Lumps has been struggling with control which has been concerning to team management.
