Scott Robinson laced a two-out RBI single in the top of the 11th inning, as the Tri-City Dust Devils salvaged the final game of a three-game series, topping the Boise Hawks, 7-4, before 3,384 fans at Memorial Stadium. The win for the Dust Devils ended an 11-game home win streak by Boise and was their first win in six games at Memorial Stadium this season.
James Sims led off the 11th with a walk off Mark Pawelek and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. After stealing third with two-out, Robinson lined a 2-2 pitch in to right to give Tri-City the lead. Patrick Rose followed with a walk and Jordan Pacheco blew the game open with a two-run double.
The Dust Devils hit a pair of home runs in the seventh, solo shots by Chad Lembeck and Andrew Goff to take a 4-3 lead, but the Hawks rallied getting a solo homer from Josh Vitters to tie the game.
Boise heads out on the road tomorrow for a three-game series at Yakima, with Andrew Cashner getting the call on the mound, with first pitch scheduled for 6:35 p.m. (MDT)
