Durham Bulls News Release
ROCHESTER, NY - For the third time this season, the Durham Bulls rallied from a final inning deficit with two out and two strikes, this time scoring seven times to storm past the Rochester Red Wings 9-3 at Innovative Field on Saturday night.
Down 3-2 and facing the game's final strike, former Red Wing Andrew Stevenson drove a low line drive past second baseman Trey Lipscomb into right-center to bring home Tristan Peters to tie the game. Tre Morgan followed with a tie-breaking single to right. The rally continued with a Tanner Murray double, then an intentional walk to Bob Seymour. Kenny Piper the drilled a one-hopper that was stopped on a dive at shortstop by Jackson Cluff, but his throw to first base went into the Rochester dugout. Coco Montes capped the rally with an opposite field, three-run homer.
Paul Gervase (W, 2-2) earned the victory by throwing the final two scoreless innings.
Logan Workman threw the first seven innings for the Bulls, allowing just two hits - both homers to third baseman Brady House. Workman retired the final 12 batters. Workman's final three innings needed just 20 pitches - five in the fifth inning, six in the sixth and nine in the seventh.
The Bulls clinched the series with one to play, up four-games-to-one.
How It Happened: The Bulls were down to their last strike, trailing in two other games this season - at Nashville and home with Jacksonville, and rallied to win just like on Saturday night. The key moment in the ninth inning was the at-bat by Tristan Peters, whose double started the uprising. Peters just missed tying the game on a deep foul on the other side of the pole. Two pitches later, Peters stroked a changeup away into left-center for a double. Peters scored the tying run on a two-strike hit by Stevenson.
Workman's Seven: Logan Workman gave up two hits - both homers to 21-year-old Brady House. House connected in the first inning to left and again int he third with Daylen Lile aboard - this time to right-center. Those were the only hits permitted by Workman, but it appeared as though it would cost him the loss.
What's Next: The series finale in Rochester Sunday afternoon at 1:05 PM ET with Joe Rock (1-2, 5.18) slated to oppose Seth Shuman (0-1, 2.18).
