Grand Prairie 10, Worcester 7

With the score tied at seven runs apiece in the top of the ninth inning, Grand Prairie scored three runs on the back of two extra-base hits, including a three-run homer from DH Andres Rodriguez. The AirHogs wound up defeating Worcester, 10-7. Rodriguez went 3-for-5 and raised his season average to .314. The Tornadoes scored seven third-inning runs, including a three-run homer from C Alex Trezza.
