Keystone responded in a big way in the bottom half of the inning, sending 12 batters to the plate and scoring eight runs on eight hits, rallying to take an 11-9 lead.  Darley plated Rojas with a sacrifice fly before Tyler Gurman (Bronx, NY/Lehman) and Guerrero delivered RBIs singles.  McLaughlin followed with a two-run double before Reyes tied the game with an RBI base hit to right.  Rojas then gave the Giants their first lead of the game with a two-run home run over the fence in left-center.
