Game Highlights
~ The Hitting Performance of the Night is awarded to Detroit's Jose Ramirez. The Maniax third baseman goes a perfect 4-4 with a double, two home runs, four runs scored and two RBI to lead Detroit to an 11-3 win over Windy City.
Walk off's in Chicago and Mother Lode:
~ In Chicago, two walks and an infield dribbler load the bases for the Rum Runners ahead of Mitch Garver's game winning single through the left side of a drawn in infield. The Runners keep pace with Brooklyn in the Harwell with the 6-5 victory.
~ In Mother Lode, Koi reliever Sam Selman may have understandably become a little skittish in the bottom of the ninth after the first hitter almost decapitates him with a line shot into center and the second batter sends another one right through the wickets and into center field. After a single from Brandon Nimmo loads the bases, Shogo Akiyama rips a grounder past a diving Bo Bichette into left field to plate the winning run.
