Ahead in the count 1-0 while facing Asher Wojciechowski, Rengifo turned on the offering, depositing the ball beyond the centerfield fence and tying the game at eight runs apiece.

After Michael Stefanic flew out to center, Jo Adell launched a no-doubt 0-2 pitch to straightaway center that put the Bees in front 9-8.
