The Inland Valley Buccaneers (6-8, 4-4) got a measure of revenge against the OC Riptide (5-11-1, 3-3) early Saturday morning at Cal Poly Pomona.
The Bucs walked off in the 12th inning as Joseph Morreale had the game-winning RBI scoring Breyer Gayle.
The Bucs took a 1-0 lead in the first when Kevin Riley scored on a RBI single by Bryce Brooks.
The Riptide answered with two in the fourth and tacked on one more insurance run in the seventh to grab a 3-1 lead.
The Bucs fought back with two in the bottom of the eighth to knot it at 3 apiece.
Gayle knocked in Shamon Moss and scored the tying run on a base knock by Johnny Juarez to right field.
Randall Ortiz was electric tossing five innings in relief and striking out five, while earning the victory.
Jonathon Hopkins worked six solid innings as well en route to claiming four strikeout victims, while only allowing three hits.
Inland Valley has two off days before making the trip east to Palm Springs for a big two-game series against the Power starting Tuesday at 7 p.m.
