Burroughs 3 California 2

Anthony Bocanegra’s infield bunt-single drove in Cole Meyer in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the Indians the win. In the top of the sixth inning, California appeared to have taken a 4-2 lead on a sacrifice fly and subsequent throwing error. However, the runner for California was called out for leaving third base too early when he tagged up. His run and the following run that scored on an error were erased and the game remained tied setting up the 7th for the dramatic win.
