Malabranca had a game-changing home run in the top of the 14th. On a first pitch curveball from Jim Unknown, he banged a solo home run to right-center, giving the Bowsers a 5-4 lead. It was the 1st home run of the year for Malabranca.

In postgame comments, Malabranca said he was glad to contribute to an exciting win.
