The dinger was the second in as many games for San Salvador, who, before last Thursday, had gone homerless in 128 at-bats.
Brown reached Ronz for its second run in the top of the fourth, tying the game at 2-2.
From that point on, however, both Ronz and Brown starter Jamie Grillo (4-3) held the opposition scoreless, forcing the game into extra innings and setting up Carter's late-game heroics.
Before Carter was able to drive in the winning run, however, the Crimson caught a break that enabled the go-ahead runner to move into scoring position.
With Lentz on first and Grillo working to Carter, Walsh called for a hit-and-run. Lentz took off with the pitch, but the ball came in high on Carter, and he let the pitch go by.
Brown catcher Greg Metzger then fired down to second. A good throw would have surely had Lentz, who had started to retreat to first upon realizing that Carter had not swung at the pitch.
But Metzger's throw bounced into center field, enabling Lentz to reach second safely.
"Grillo hadn't been up high the whole ballgame," Walsh said. "We caught a break, no doubt about it."
