The lead would not last long for the Cubs. Against reliever Luke Sommer (1-2), Louis Ott led off the top of the eighth with a single to left field. After Sommer retired the next to batter Matt Dominguez hit a two run home run over the left field wall and gave the Hammerheads a 2-1 lead. The blast was Dominguez's third straight game with a home run.
