The Birds scored twice more in the fourth inning to take the first lead. Barth tied the game with a triple before crossing home plate on a wild pitch.
The Milkmen jumped back in front with a two-run homerun in the top of the sixth but Barth dumped a two-run double in the seventh inning that proved to be the difference.
