Salem Red Sox 7 Wilmington Blue Rocks 6
The Rocks, for the second straight nigh,t took a lead to the bottom of the ninth only to watch the Red Sox walk-off on them. On this night it was former 1st round pick, Michael Chavis, that did them in, connecting on three home runs. Starter Emilio Ogando navigated most of the lineup, working around six hits other hits, but he couldn’t solve Chavis who hit two bombs off him in his five innings. Despite that, the Rocks had connected on a pair of their own home runs to take a 6-4 lead to the ninth after Roman Collins’ second home run of the season. Unfortunately, Andres Machado stumbled in the ninth, giving up a solo home run to Deiner Lopez to leadoff the inning prior to giving up Chavis’ third blast of the night with a runner on for the Salem win.
