Memphis Redbirds News Release
MEMPHIS, Tennessee - The Memphis Redbirds got back to winning ways with a late-inning 4-3 comeback victory over the Gwinnett Stripers on Friday night at AutoZone Park.
Trailing 3-2 with two outs and a runner on in the bottom of the seventh, center fielder Ben DeLuzio cracked his first home run of the season and put Memphis on top for good.
The top of the order started a rally with two outs and none on in the bottom of the third with the team down 2-0. Third baseman Brendan Donovan started things with a walk, followed by a single courtesy of second baseman Nolan Gorman.
First baseman Juan Yepez then placed a two-run double into the left-centerfield gap, his first hit of the season. In the game, Memphis scored all four of its runs with two outs.
Thomas Parsons (1-0) dazzled in relief of starter Zack Thompson to earn the win while Jacob Bosiokovic (2) slammed the door to earn the save. Parsons faced 12 Stripers, retiring 11 of them without allowing a hit. Thompson struck out six batters in 4.1 innings, five of them looking.
Memphis (2-2) returns to AutoZone Park on Saturday afternoon (3:05 first pitch) for game five of the series with Gwinnett (2-2).
