DUNEDIN, Fla. - Despite entering the ninth with the lead, the Marauders fell 5-4 after the Dunedin Blue Jays pushed across two ninth inning runs to walk off winners on Saturday night at TD Ballpark.

Leading 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth with Jonawel Valdez on the mound, Peyton Powell singled and Alex De Jesus walked.

After the Blue Jays tacked on a run in the bottom of the sixth, Bradenton answered back in the top of the seventh. Leading off the frame, Ian Farrow rolled a single to left and advanced to second on a wild pitch. With no outs, Joel Mendez blasted an RBI double to center that pushed the advantage to 4-1.

In the bottom of the seventh, Dunedin began their comeback bid when Hernandez singled with two outs. The next hitter was Sam Shaw who rolled an RBI triple down the right-field line, cutting the Bradenton lead to 4-2.

The next hitter was Tucker Toman who belted an RBI double off the wall in center to bring Dunedin within one run.
