With two on and two out in the fourth Marcoe singled to score Cody Brooks from second and make it a 3-2 ballgame. The Wolves again quickly evened things up as Grant Glover hit a solo homer to left.
In the sixth inning Marcoe came up with the same scenario, two on one out, and delivered again, singling to center and scoring Brooks from third.
