The Eagles tied the game back up with an unearned run in the visitor's third before Gaston Rojas (Carmel, NY/Carmel) put the Giants back in front with a double that plated Julian Lanfranco (Brooklyn, NY/Xaverian) in the home fifth.
Edgewood knotted the game back up at 3-3 on a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning to force extra innings, where Keystone would win the game in the bottom of the 10th inning as Eduardo Familia (Bronx, NY/Collegio Utesianode Estudios Integrados) delivered a walk-off double to center field that brought home Kevin Luciano (Everett, MA/Cambridge Rindge and Latin School) with the winning run.
