The Trenton Thunder scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth to send the game the into extra frames and then they won it in the bottom of the twelth when Cody Ehlers drove home Juan Francia on a ground out to shortstop.  Instead of going home or trying for a double play, shortstop Seth Bynum threw to first and that cost Harrisburg the game.
