Evansville, Ind. - The Florence Y'alls scored three runs in the tenth inning to defeat the Evansville Otters 5-2 Wednesday night at Bosse Field.

A hit-batter kept the inning alive before a single scored the game winning-run. A double followed to score two more runs.
Josh Broughton hit a leadoff base hit in the ninth inning and eventually advanced to third but the Otters could not score the walk-off run.

Florence used a sacrifice fly in the top of the third to even the game at one apiece.
Evansville answered in the bottom half of the inning. Bryan Rosario led off with a walk and stole second base. Myers hit a single to score Rosario.
The Y'alls quickly tied the game in the fourth. Two batters walked and a two-out hit drove in the tying run.
