The score remained the same until the bottom of the fifth when South Terrebonne connected on a double to deep left field to score one run and a sacrifice fly to centerfield tied the game at 3.
With runners at second and third in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Gators laid down a squeeze bunt that was mishandled by Nick Spinella and the go-ahead run scored.
The last run scored on a ball hit to third base.
