Jake Ogden started a 6-3 double play in the bottom of the eighth inning with runners on first and second and one out to end the inning. Jake Toomey had a hardly-hit ground ball to the right of second base that Ogden fielded, stepped on second and threw to first to complete the double play and get out of the eight inning.
With one out in the ninth inning Miami second baseman Dorian Gonzales took away a sure hit with a diving play before throwing out Adam Magpoc of Boston College Kyle Wolff got a two-out two-strike bloop single in the bottom of the ninth inning to put the tying run on base.
Brian Walters got Vince Cimini to fly out deep to right center field near the deepest part of Fenway Park to end the game. Walter pitched the final two innings, allowing two hits and walk with a strikeout for his sixth save. Carl Fischer improved to 4-1 with two innings of scoreless relief.
