Cade Fergus struck out to lead off the bottom of the ninth but reached first base on a wild pitch. Andrick Nava and Robert Moore walked (both tried to put down a sacrifice bunt but Erie’s pitcher couldn’t throw strikes - the Erie skipper complained to the umpires about wet mound conditions which brought the field crew out to work on it). Hendry Mendez hit a foul ball that the right fielder caught in the corner which allowed Fergus to easily tag and score 😳. A wild pitch then allowed pinch runner Luis Verdugo to score the game winning walk off run!

Did Ya Know 🧐 :

Reyes does not qualify for the league rankins in average, but his .329 mark would be second in the league if he did qualify. - Jake Starr - Reading Director of PR/Media Relations, Client Fulfillment & Broadcaster
