Harrisburg blew a 5-4 lead in the 9th and a fifth straight loss seemed imminent until Cortland Lawson walked ’em off with solo HR in the bottom of the 9th to stop a four-game slide. Alex Clemmey needed 80 pitches to get 10 outs as he let in three runs (two earned) on four hits and five walks. He struck out five.

Lawson had singled twice before the 9th to lead the Sens hit column with three, followed by Max Romero with two safteties and three RBI, and Cayden Wallace with a double and a triple.
