Comeback 'Cats Fall 5-4 Despite Late Heroics

Weston Wilson hit a game tying home run in the ninth, but the Wood Ducks walked-off again 5-4

A dramatic two out home run by Weston Wilson in the 9th to tie the game went for naught as the Wood Ducks scored in the bottom of the 9th on a controversial two out hit down the third base line. The Mudcats bitterly contested the fair call but the play stood and Chase Williams took the loss for the second day in a row.

Box Score / Game Log

Jacob Nottingham two more hits, including a double, wow.

Nate Orf's 4th start in RF (other starts - 10 at 2B, 3 at SS, 2 at 3B)

Throwing error at SS for Mauricio Dubon (7th overall); did he extend his hit streak to 17? You know if he did or not because you read the summary/notes linked above.

Jorge Lopez locked down the save, but this habit of closers throughout the chain walking leadoff men is getting annoying.
