WHAT A WILD WALKOFF WIN!

Trailing 6-3 in the bottom of the 9th... Lancaster "stormed-back" with 4 runs to walk it off against Staten Island... 7-6! The comeback seemed unlikely after the Stormers trailed 5-0 early & then 6-3 in the 9th... but Lancaster's next 6 batters reached based, including Joseph Carpenter's RBI fielder's choice that scored Shawon Dunston Jr. with the GAME-WINNING RUN!

Warwick wins & advances in the District 3 Playoffs for the first time since finishing 6th in the 2010 District 3 Tournament!

But Spartans Bella Boozer rocketed a shot home 6 minutes after halftime to tie it up 1-1!
