Talk about an impressive comeback. The Fisher Cats scored five runs in the top of the ninth to send the game into extra frames after being down 5-0 and then David Smith doubled home Ryan Patterson in the top of the tenth for the winning run. Robinzon Diaz had a big three run homer in that ninth inning and he finished the game three for six.

Matt Roney picked up the win and he improved to 2-1 on the season. He pitched a shutout ninth but it was an important inning.
