The Game Changed When… The Bees came to bat in the bottom of the 6th inning down 1-0 at the time. With 1 out, Jovan Rosa would hit a solo home run to tie the game, and then Jamar Walton would follow with a solo shot of his own to give New Britain the 2-1 lead. The 2 runs in that frame would be essential in securing the 3-1 victory.
