September 11, 2024
Indianapolis (UBAN) - Yu Chang knocked 2 homeruns at Longhorn Stadium as the San Diego Braves pulled
off a dramatic comeback beating the Indianapolis Longhorns by the count of 9 to 6.
Trailing 5 - 0 after 5 innings, San Diego won the game with a rally in the 9th inning as they scored 4 runs on 3 base hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Chang who deflated the spirits of the home town crowd when he depressed the partisan hometown fans with a grand slam home run. San Diego managed 13 hits in their victory.
Ryan Pressly(8-4) was the winner allowing 1 run in 1 and 1/3 innings. Trevor Stephan(2-8) was the losing pitcher in relief. He gave up 3 runs and 1 hit in 1 inning.
Wth the win San Diego now has a record of 76-69. Indianapolis has a record of 56-88, worst in the division after the loss.
Jose Berrios reeled off a total of 11 strikeouts as the smoking-hot Mexico City Aguilas Doradas defeated the pathetic Oakland Black Panthers by the score of 5 to 2 at El Nido de Aguilas.
Berrios(12-8) contributed a very nicely pitched game. He was stingy on the mound, allowing just 6 hits and 1 walk in 7 innings. Oakland had a chance in the 9th but they came up short.
Camilo Doval recorded his 39th save. The losing pitcher was Luke Weaver(2-5). Although losing the contest, he whiffed 6 batters in 3 and 1/3 innings.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance of Berrios - except Oakland. Frank Robinson lamented, 'He just was 'on' tonight. He was keeping our guys off balance all game. A fine game by a good strikeout pitcher - makes it a fun game for the hometown fans - unfortunately we were the visitors!'
