Magallanes 7, Zulia 6

After Zulia scored 2 in the bottom of the 5th to tie and 1 more in the 6th to take the lead, Magallanes re-took the lead thanks to a pair in the 7th.

AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE
Adelaide 5, Canberra 3 in 13 innings
After the Bite scored 3 in the 2nd to open the scoring, Canberra responded with 1 in the bottom of the 2nd and a pair in the 3rd to tie. That's where the game would stand until the 13th, when Joe Sclafani hit a 1-out single, then scored the go-ahead run on a double from Stefen Welch, who scored a crucial insurance run on an Andrew Davis single. Sclafani is now on a 7-game hitting streak (counting today's game), and in 5 of those 7 games, he's had 2 hits.

SS Joe Sclafani: 2-6, R, 2 K, CS (2)

Garcia opened the scoring with a 3-run homer in the 1st, but Guasave responded with 7 unanswered, scoring in every inning but the 3rd and 4th. Leo Heras connected for his 1st homer of the playoffs, which was a solo shot in the 7th.
