The Moose Jaw Miller Express scored 6 runs in the Top of 15th inning due in part to a clutch bases clearing double by Miller Express first baseman Austin Russell and that was enough as they defeated the Melville Millionaires 10-4 at Pirie Field to even their best of 5 East Semi-Final series at 1 game apiece.
Mils closer Dustin Emmons was tagged with the loss. He came in relief going 4 2/3 innings, allowing 4 hits, 5 runs he walked 3 and struck out 6. Ryan Talley started on the mound for the Moneymen going 5 innings surrendering 4 runs on 6 hits walked 1 and struck out 3.
Offensively, the Mils were led by Third baseman Garrett Kilgore who at the time tied the game at 4, with a grand-slam homerun over the right-field fence, his first of the playoffs and 7th RBI. First baseman Sheldon O'Dell also had two hits for the home team.
Now the series shifts over to Ross Wells Park in Moose Jaw for Games 3 & 4 which will Thursday and Friday night from the friendly city and if necessary Saturday night for Game 5 back at Pirie Field.
