Andrew Ross, the runner on first, took off for second, getting into a rundown long enough to allow Eli Klorczyk to break for home. A New Milford player fired the ball home to attempt the game-ending putout but Klorczyk was able to slide in headfirst, just beating the throw, to send the game into extra innings.
