FLORENCE, KY - The Florence Y'alls (47-32) picked up a comeback 6-4 win over Lake Erie on Tuesday night to open a six-game homestand.
Jonaiker Villalobos grabbed the ball for Florence after a magnificent start last Tuesday against Sussex County. The crafty lefty worked a quick first inning but was picked apart in the second for three runs on five hits to give Lake Erie the early 3-0 lead. Villalobos settled in for four scoreless innings to end his night with six complete, allowing three runs on nine hits with four punchouts.
After being retired in order their first time through the lineup, Florence finally got on the board with two runs in the bottom of the fifth to make it 3-2 Lake Erie. Marcus Brodil laced an RBI double to bring home Milo Rushford, and Marcus Brodil came home to score on a bases-loaded wild pitch.
In the bottom of the sixth, Florence kept the offense rolling with an RBI double from Garrett Broussard to score Hank Zeisler and tie the game. The Y'alls took a 4-3 lead on another wild pitch to bring home Broussard.
Logan Jones surrendered the lead in the seventh to tie it 4-4. Danny Heintz entered with a clean eighth inning to give Florence a chance in the bottom half. Broussard picked up his third hit of the day with one out to put the go-ahead run on base. With two away and two runners on, Zach Beadle delivered the biggest hit of the night, a go-ahead two-run double to give Florence the 6-4 lead.
Heintz hung on in the ninth to pick up his first win as a Y'all and bring Florence back to 15 games over .500. Broussard ended with a 3-for-4 line with an RBI and three runs scored, while Beadle earned a 2-for-3 line with two RBIs at the bottom of the order.
