Hagerstown, MD - The Hagerstown Suns (52-33) enjoyed their third straight last at-bat win over the Lexington Legends (43-42), this time a 5-4 walk-off win in the ninth inning at Municipal Stadium on Friday night.

Right fielder Steven Souza recorded his second walk-off single of the season, knocking in Billy Burns from first base with a double to hand Hagerstown the win. It was Souza's lone hit of the game, while Burns finished the night 3-for-5.
