With the bases loaded in the top of the sixth, Bears reliever Steve Kent walked in two runs to extend the ‘Sharks lead to 5-2.
The Bears struck again the bottom of sixth, scoring one run on an RBI double by Haran, but Phillips hit his second home run of the game to give the Riversharks a 6-3 lead. The ‘Sharks scored once more in the eighth to create the 7-3 ¬¬¬¬final score.
