Windy City's Derrick Edington escaped a bases loaded jam in the bottom of the ninth. In relief of Christman, Edington managed a fly out from Titans shortstop Brian Bannon, sending the game into extra innings.
In the top of the tenth inning with a runner assigned to second base, Bolts' right fielder Paul Coumoulous sacrificed Will Riley to third base. The next batter, Matt Morgan, ripped an RBI single into left field, breaking the ice for the first run of the contest, making it a 1-0 Bolts lead.
Following a Troy Viola single, left fielder Dan Robinson elevated the runners over to second and third base with a ground out to the mound off Trevor Clifton. With two outs, third baseman Junior Martina sliced a two-run single for a 3-0 Bolts lead heading into the bottom of the tenth inning.

After a walk to Sicnarf Loopstok that gave Ottawa their first run, Whittle struck out Jamey Smart swinging for the second out of the inning.
