This contest was scheduled for seven innings after the teams finished Saturday's suspended game earlier in the day.

The game also saw Stephen Douglas's league-record 34-game hitting streak come to an end, as he grounded out productively in his first at-bat and then walked each of his next three times up.

Each team got a run in the first inning, as Cesar Nicolas singled in Danny Figueroa to put the AirHogs (50-29) on the board, and Phil Hawke's RBI groundout tied things in the bottom of the inning. Paul Koss and Garrett Sherrill (1-1) held Grand Prairie off the board for the final four innings, while Brownell worked around trouble from the third inning on. The righty survived two walks in the third by striking out the side, and gave up a pair in the fourth (one earned) but stranded two runners in scoring position with one out. In the fifth, Brownell pitched around a one-out double and he worked around a one-out single and two-out balk in the sixth.

Overall, Brownell finished with five hits and three walk allowed, giving up three runs (two earned) while striking out seven in six innings.

Hunton (6-2) got Kurt Steinhauer to ground out to start the seventh inning, but he walked Gavin Dickey and Hawke to put the tying and winning runs aboard. Curt Smith singled to left-center to tie the game, and Hunton intentionally walked Jorge Cortes to bring up Alvarez. But Hunton threw four more out of the zone and Hawke trotted home to give the Saltdogs (39-40) the dramatic win.
