Victoria Generals News Release


Generals played two games tonight, not only did they win but they had two walk off wins. Some Generals stood out offensively for the second game tonight; Pedro Barrios went 2 for 4 with an RBI and made some outstanding defensive plays. Justin Pacchioli went 2 for 5 with 2 runs scored, and a walk off homerun to win the game.

James Swan started the top of the 1st recording his first two strikeouts of the night as the Cane Cutters went 1, 2, 3, in the inning. The Generals came into the bottom of the 1st inning and Pedro Barrios hit an RBI single to score Justin Pacchioli 1-0 Generals.

Swan and the Generals moved on to the 2nd inning where he would record his third strikeout of the night and the inning would end on a barehanded grab and throw 5-3 from Pedro Barrios. Nothing for the Generals offense in the bottom of the 2nd, and on to the top of the 3rd where the Cane Cutters would drive in 2 runs and score 1 from a double steal where a runner stole from 3rd base 3-1. Swan would still record two more strikeouts in the inning.

A notable stat in the bottom of the 5th inning; Alvaro Rondon stole his 6th base of the night including the first game of the doubleheader.

The Generals tacked on a run in the bottom of the 6th inning from a fielder's choice hit by catcher Dayfran Ortiz that would score David Paiz 3-2.

Scary moment in the bottom of the 7th when the Cane Cutters left fielder Trey Hicks went chasing for a long line drive off the bat of Brian Portelli and hit the outfield wall in full stride. Hicks walked himself off the field thankfully and Portelli ended up with a triple. David Paiz came up after Portelli and drove the run in off of a single to send the game to extra innings once again 3-3.

The score would stay tied until the bottom of the 9th inning where the leadoff hitter Justin Pacchioli hit a walk off homerun to end the game 4-3.

So the double-header tonight provided a lot of excitement, two games two walkoff wins for the Generals. Make sure to come out tomorrow as the Generals start a two game series with the Texas Marshals.
