Warner pitched a solid game with seven strikeouts and four hits in six innings, but things changed in the seventh.

With one out, Bektasevic hit a triple, Dan Serrano walked and Benz hit a homer to right to tie the game at 5-5.

With one out in the eighth, Serrano doubled, Benz was intentionally walked and William Davila pounded Mike Gariffo's offering for a double to left-center to end the game.

We had so many guys come through when they had to today," Lane coach Jeff Szukala said. There were a few times it didn't look good, but our guys came picked it up when they had to."
