INDIANAPOLIS - Casey Sadler pitched seven scoreless innings, Steve Lombardozzi hit a walkoff single in the bottom of the 12th inning and the Indianapolis Indians salvaged the finale of a three-game series with a 2-1 victory over the Pawtucket Red Sox on Wednesday afternoon at Victory Field.
Indians (23-18) starter Sadler pitched a gem with just three hits and four strikeouts, but finished with a no-decision thanks to a game-tying RBI single from Pawtucket's (23-18) Travis Shaw with two outs in the top of the ninth inning.
Alen Hanson went 3-for-5 with his fourth straight multi-hit game and doubled to reach as the deciding run in the bottom of the 12th inning.
Gustavo Nunez singled Hanson to third before Lombardozzi delivered the game-winner on his first hit in five at-bats against the Red Sox.
Tribe right-hander AJ Morris (2-0) walked one and struck out two over 1 1/3 innings to pick up his second win of the season.
