McNabb's first error helped Peninsula take a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning.
Damon Saetre started the rally with a double to right-center field and took third on Lash Bailey's grounder to first. After Jimmy Campanis was hit by a Butch Schlopy pitch, Lem Pilkinton's single scored Saetre and sent Campanis to third. On the hit, Pilkinton took a wide turn at first and was caught in a rundown. Campanis then broke for the plate and scored when McNabb's throw skipped past catcher Armando Romero.
In the sixth, the Bucs took the lead on Domingo Merejo's three-run homer off the scoreboard in right-center.
But McNabb's second error played a key role in a two-run sixth for the Pilots (3-8).
After Saetre reached on the second baseman's throwing error, Bailey homered off the top of the wall in left field to put Peninsula in front to stay. The Pilots added a run in the seventh and snapped a five-game losing streak.
Schlopy (1-2) took the loss for the Bucs (6-6), although he gave up just five hits and did not walk a batter in six innings. He hit three batters.
