Unfortunately for Hartford, Endo pitched just as well for Colorado and only gave up 1 earned run on 8 hits in 8 innings pitched. Going into the bottom of the 9th, Hartford was trailing 2-1.

Colorado brings in Rodriguez to pitch the bottom of the 9th, and he gives up a single to Cervantes to start the inning. Cervantes is pinch run for by Warren, who then moves to second as Harrison hits one between the second-baseman's legs. Both runners are safe due to the error! Tolmie is now up with no outs, and he sacrifice bunts, moving both runners over. The tying run is now at third and the go ahead run at second with only one out.

J. Smith comes up to the plate, and on an 0-2 pitch singles one in the hole at short to tie it up! Colorado walks Anderson to pitch to Holcombe. Holcombe makes them pay however with a long sacrifice fly to deep center. The runner tags up at third and Hartford scrapes out a must-needed win!

Hartford wins 3-2

The series is all tied up now at 3, heading back to Colorado for a final and deciding game #7!

Ouch...a heartbreaker!
