Fresno Grizzlies News Release
Fresno, California - In the 100th all-time meeting between the Fresno Tacos (55-66) and Memphis Redbirds (55-66), it was the Tacos who came out on top with an 8-7 walk-off win. The victory snapped Fresno's seven-game losing streak and any chance of a Memphis sweep. Dakota Bacus (5-5) relished the decision after one and one-third frames of scoreless relief. Lefty Chasen Shreve (2-2) ached the defeat.
Raudy Read headlined the Tacos offense with a four-hit and RBI affair. The catcher smashed his 16th homer of the season in the first and would finish the evening with a double to the left-center wall. It was his second walk-off this year (April 8th) and sixth by Fresno overall. Yadiel Hernandez added a pair of hits and runs while Brandon Snyder enjoyed a multi-RBI game.
The Redbirds had two players notch both multi-hit and RBI nights. Edmundo Sosa laced three singles and plated a pair. John Nogowski whacked two hits and RBI while walking three times. Both clubs will have Wednesday off before continuing play on Thursday.
