Ross ran into trouble at the outset of the frame, however, issuing a walk and before the inning ended three singles accounted for three runs and game went into extra innings. Ross weathered the storm and pitched shutout ball in the eighth, ninth and tenth innings before the local team rallied for the winning run in the bottom of the tenth. It was the "Mighty Mite" of the local team who delivered the blow that sent the Dixie squad down to their second straight defeat of the day.
