Tri-City bounced right back, with Campos lifting a two-run homer to left field in the bottom of the second inning to give the Cats a 2-1 lead.
The Wild Things clawed right back and tied the game in the third on a sac fly by Bralin Jackson. In the fourth Campos hit the first of his two RBI singles to give Tri-City a 3-2 lead, before the Cats added three in the home sixth, higlighted by Campos' second run-scoring single and an RBI double by Carson Maxwell.
