The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Rod Garcia came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Arizona pitcher Esteban Vega, he hit a 1-0 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Kyiv on top, 6-5.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Kyiv manager Boris Lahutin.
