Gateway Grizzlies News Release
SAUGET, Ill. - Justin Dunning hit a game-winning RBI single in the 10th inning to give the Gateway Grizzlies a 4-3 victory over the Florence Freedom Saturday night at GCS Ballpark. It was the Grizzlies third walk-off win of the season.
Chris McClendon led off the 10th with a single, John Shelby walked and Jon Myers moved the runners to second and third on a sacrifice bunt. After an intentional walk to Antone DeJesus, Dunning ripped a single to center for the game-winner.
Richard Barrett (1-3) got the win for Gateway (27-24) after tossing two scoreless innings in relief of Tim Brown. Brown picked up a no-decision, despite only allowing three runs in eight-plus innings.
Myers paced the Grizzlies offense with a 4-for-4 night and three doubles while Richie Jimenez Jr. collected a second inning two run single.
The Grizzlies enjoy an off day Sunday before returning to action on Monday night when they take on Slammers in Joliet. Right-hander Alex Kaminsky (5-3) will get the start for Gateway. First pitch is set for 7:05 CT.
