The game was still in doubt when Wingnuts left fielder Heath Keel took a step off third base in anticipation of the next pitch.
He was discussing strategy with manager Kash Beauchamp, and neither Keel nor Beauchamp knew that Fort Worth third baseman Aaron Sisk still had the ball. When Keel strayed off the bag he was tagged out, a victim of the hidden-ball trick.

Fort Worth salvaged the final game of the four-game series and handed the Wingnuts their first loss at home.
