Two walks gave the Dukes runners on first and second with one-out in the bottom of the second inning and an error in the infield allowed a run to score while catcher Ryan Gocio reached base safely. Langley followed with a sacrifice bunt that brought home the runner from third, tying the game at 2-2. Moody added a two-run single to center field later in the frame to make it 4-2.
