Gateway Grizzlies News Release
WASHINGTON, PA - Shain Stoner drove in Joel Carranza for the game-winning run in the 10th inning and the Washington Wild Things defeated the Gateway Grizzlies 1-0 in extra-innings on Tuesday night at Consol Energy Park.
Gateway (2-2) and Washington (3-1) battled through nine scoreless innings before the Wild Things manufactured the game-winning run in the 10th inning. Carranza was hit by a pitch to start the inning and Michael Bando moved him to second base on a sac bunt. Stoner drove in Carranza with one out to win the game.

Casey Barnes matched Gonzalez, scattering three hits over seven scoreless innings.
Chris Enourato (0-1) gave up the game-winning hit in the 10th inning to take the loss while Nathan Striz (1-0) needed to pitch only one-third of an inning to get the win.
