For more details, check out the recap at Nola.com. From the article:

Guichet led off the bottom of the 11th with a walk. He advanced to second on a bunt With runners on first and second, dangerous hitter Eddie Cerrone, the Lions’ catcher, was walked intentionally, loading the bases for a force out at all four bases.

However, Groh, who was the game’s starting pitcher, then singled to start the celebration.

 

The score had been tied 4-4 since the top of the seventh, when Easton scored three runs to avert what was appearing to be a certain loss.
