Norwich tied it up in the top of the third as James Sprague reached on a dropped third strike and scored on Joey Parker's two-out triple.

The game remained tied at 1 until Unatego went ahead for good with a three-run bottom of the fifth inning.

A sacrifice-fly, a passed ball, and a wild pitch brought in the winning runs.
