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!
