Trying to avoid the sweep, the Doubledays jumped up to an early lead in the first inning, but that wasn't enough to tame the Tigers. Oneonta rallied twice before taking the lead for good and getting in control of the game.
The Doubledays fielded two errors, both resulting in costly runs. Scott Gracey got the start for the Doubledays as he went five innings, allowed five hits, four runs, while walking three and striking out three in the loss.
Brian Justice earned a blown save in three innings of work, giving up one hit, walking one batter and sitting a batter down on strikes.
Zach Outman pitched one inning, allowing one hit, one run and walking two batters, while sitting down one on strikes.
The Doubledays offense was led by their top five of the order in which they earned all 10 of the team's hits. Eric Eiland led with three and two runs scored. Jonathan Fernandez, Lance Durham and Welinton Ramirez contributed with two hits apiece. Fernandez also scored twice, while Ramirez had two RBIs and a double. Yan Gomes had one hit and brought in two runs.
The Doubledays left nine on the base paths and went 4-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
