The last day of just one team playing…and the River Cats couldn’t not play another close game.
AAA: Sacramento 9, Reno 8 (11 Innings)
Player of the Game: Donovan Walton: 2-4, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 HR (1), 1 BB, 2.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
Is Donovan Walton the best relief pitcher in Sacramento?
No…I mean, no, really, is he?
Okay, maybe not, but he’s now pitched 4.0 innings, all in extras, only allowing one run, which was a ghost runner, and even picked up a strikeout. And this time, he also was one of the game’s leading hitters, going 2-for-4 with his first home run of the season. That dual threat gives him today’s player of the game by a nose.
Other Players to Spotlight:
- Heliot Ramos: 3-5, 3 R, 2 RBI, 1 3B (1), 1 HR (3) – Ramos could’ve easily been player of the game, with a 9th-inning RBI triple that powered the River Cats comeback, and an 11th inning 2-run home run to give Sacramento the lead. He has three home runs this season, and two have been clutch extra-inning-home runs.
- Carson Seymour: 4.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HR – As the starting pitcher, Seymour wasn’t overwhelming, but he had a solid start that kept Sacramento in it early, even if right after he was lifted, the game blew on on Sacramento
