The Sens parlayed two wild pitches into a two-out eighth inning run to defeat Trenton 2-1 on Tuesday afternoon in Trenton. It wasn't a pretty game in hot and humid conditions, but the Sens persevered for the win.

The Sens took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on back-to-back two-out doubles off the bats of Leonard Davis and Joel Guzman. The Sens would load the bases in the second with one out, but they didn't score.
Trenton scored their run with two outs in the third to tie the game at one each.
Both teams then went through several scoring opportunities but failed to score.
The Senators broke through in the eighth. Edgardo Baez hustled a long single in a double leading off the inning. He was wild pitched to third with no outs and was still down there with two-outs. He was then wild pitched home giving the Sens a 2-1 lead.
