Lemurs Blow Eight-Run Lead, Prevail in 12
June 6, 2013 - American Association (AA)
Laredo Lemurs News Release
Laredo nearly let it all slip away, but eventually came out on top in 12 innings, 12-11. The Lemurs led by eight going into the ninth, but Grand Prairie mounted a tremendous comeback, capped by a game-tying grand slam off the bat of SS Ryan Pineda. The AirHogs trailed 11-3, but scored four runs before Pineda sent the game to extra innings in dramatic fashion.
Both clubs were shut down in the 10th and 11th innings, but Laredo rallied behind Harrison Kain and Jimmy Mojica in the 12th. Kain hit a one-out single, stole second and advanced to third on a groundout to put the go-ahead run 90 feet from home. After an intentional walk to Sawyer Carroll put runners on the corners with two outs, John Allen drove Kain home with a double to re-take the lead for Laredo. Carroll was thrown out at home on the play, as he tried to add an insurance run, but Kain's run was enough to capture the win for the Lemurs.
