• Walsh 1-5, 2R, BB, HR, 2RBI

The Blue Rocks may want to schedule a colonoscopy to see if there are any more horseshoes in their collective prosteriors, as they rallied for five in the 9th and single runs in each of the four extra innings to beat the Keys, 9-8 in 13. Jacob Walsh homered to break up the shutout, Teo Banks deposited a two-run single into center, and Eli Willits tied the game with a two-out single. The game-winner came on a throw home that the Frederick catcher did his best imitation of Wilson Ramos, unable to field a routine one-hop throw that was somehow ruled an error on the right fielder. Jacob Walsh, who had reached third on an error by the pitcher to start the inning was able to amble home with the game winner on the fifth Keys error.
