Walk-off to Corvallis

The Sweets sure know how to end a homestand.  Trailing 4-0 in the sixth against Portland on Tuesday, Walla Walla rallied for single runs in the sixth and seventh and then tied the game with two runs in the eighth.  It remained tied until the 11th inning when James Campbell ripped a bases-loaded walk-off single to left-center.

W2 capped their eight-game homestand with a 4-4 record and starts a six-game road trip tonight in Corvallis.  The Sweets took to the road at 7:30 a.m. and arrived in Cor-Vegas at 1:30 p.m. today.  Tonight's 6:40 p.m. first pitch will start the first game of a three-game series between the Sweets and Knights.
