RAILCATS WIN 7-6 IN 10 INNINGS

 

GARY, IN-The Gary SouthShore RailCats (49-40) scored two unanswered runs to come back from a 6-5 JackHammers lead and win 7-6 in 10 innings before 6,111 fans at U.S. Steel Yard. Christian Guerrero (1-5) got the winning single for the RailCats. The JackHammers loss and Kansas City’s win in Winnipeg means the JackHammers fall to three games behind Kansas City for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Northern League.

 

The JackHammers scored a single run in the first inning on a solo home run by Juan Diaz (1-4) over the left field wall. Diaz powered a pitch by RailCats LHP Brian Forystek off the video scoreboard in left field for a 1-0 JackHammers lead.

 

The RailCats scored three runs in the first inning against Joliet LHP Brad Mumma. Rob Maroni (0-3) led off the inning with a walk. Eric McNamee (1-4) laid down a sacrifice bunt that 3B Joe Hooft fielded and threw wildly over the outstretched glove of 1B Juan Diaz. Marconi moved to third base. McNamee ended up at second base after being credited with a sacrifice bunt and an error. Jay Pecci (1-5) hit a groundout to score Marconi for a 1-1 tied score.

 

Tanner Townsend (1-4) hit a one-out single to score McNamee. A double by Steve Haake (2-3) pushed Townsend across home plate for a 3-1 Gary lead.

 

Gary scored two more runs in the fourth inning. Guerrero reached base on an error and scored on a double by Haake. After Mike Rohde (0-4) grounded out to advance Haake to third base, the RailCats left fielder scored on a wild pitch for a 5-1 Gary lead.

 

The JackHammers scored four runs in the fifth inning to tie the game at 5-5. Steve Garrabrants (2-4) walked and Chris Kinsey (1-3) singled him to second base. Nick Prosise (1-2) walked to load the bases and Joe Hooft (0-1) lifted a sacrifice fly to center field to score Garrabrants. Doc Brooks (1-5) followed with a three-run home run to tie the game at 5-5.

 

The JackHammers scored the go-ahead run in the sixth inning. Garrabrants led off the inning with a single and moved to third base on a hit-and-run play executed by Prosise. The Joliet catcher hit a ground ball to right field to put Garrabrants at third. Hooft lifted a sacrifice fly to center field to score Garrabrants for a 6-5 lead.

 

The RailCats tied the game with a solo home run by Mike Reese (2-4) in the seventh inning. Joliet and Gary were deadlocked at 6-6. Mumma got a “no-decision” after pitching six and two-thirds innings and allowing six runs, (three earned runs), on six hits.

 

In the 10th inning, Pecci led off the inning with a single against RHP Ned Darley (0-2). After Townsend popped out to center field, Guerrero lifted a fly ball to deep center filed to allow Pecci to score all the way from first base for a RailCats victory.

 

Loose Gravel: The game was delayed because of rain for 64 minutes in the bottom of the fourth inning.

 

The JackHammers and RailCats wrap up their season-series on Sunday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. RHP Nate Sevier (4-7, 5.52) gets the start for the JackHammers against RHP Jeremy Plexico (9-3, 2.71) for the RailCats.
