With Leo only 90 feet away from a tie ball game, all the next batter had to do was bit the ball on the ground. Tom Bilo deau took a strike, bunted foul, and then fouled out to the first baseman. At this point B.U.'s ace pitcher Ron Girolimon entered the game and retired pinchhitter Dan Hootstein on a grounder to third, ending the threat.
