The Baysox appeared ready for a dramatic victory when they scored six runs in the ninth -- with L.J. Hoes' three-run double the big hit -- to take a 10-6 lead. But Altoona rallied for four in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings.
Joe Mahoney started the rally in the 13th with a one-out double, and Britton followed with his two-base hit. He later scored on Florimon's single.
