Lastly, Mcrae scored on an RBI double to right field by Nikolas Clark (Davenport) to tie the game, 4-4.<\/span><\/p>\n The wheels fell off for the Battle Jacks in the bottom of the sixth when the Jackrabbits superseded Battle Creek\u2019s four run inning with a five-run inning to take a commanding lead.
