Dee Dee Martinson and Tiny de Grande battled it out in a pitcher's duel, each leaving with the shutout intact.
In the 12th inning, with the Brews' Killian Austin on the mound, the Synths began their winning push. Writey Thomassen led off with a walk and then tagged up to second on Grayson Topps' deep fly.
