Franklin Scott's walk-off RBI single capped a four-run rally in the bottom of the seventh inning as the Parasox came back to beat the Action Potentials 12 to 11. Rookie Chuck Smith also played an important role in the comeback, hitting a towering drive that shot over the wall like a potassium ion through a hydrophobic cell membrane at peak voltage.
The Parasox needed to rally for four runs after relinquishing a four run lead in the top of the seventh. “After playing solid defense for most of the game, we let them back into the game,” said Skipper Scott. “We never should have let them get ahead, but thankfully we came away with the victory.”
It was the first victory of the season for the Parasox, who started the season with quiet bats and shaky defense. But several of the past few games indicated the team was starting to settle in to their roles. “It's nice to get our first win, but we'll be looking to move up the standing and keep improving.”
The top of the lineup built a lead through the early innings. Eric Secor and Brian Leahy combined to go 8 for 8 with five runs-scored and five RBI. Pitcher-slugger Brian Rockwood went 3 for 4 with three runs scored and several nice defensive plays off the mound. Rockwood also had a strong pitching performance. “Brian was tossing strikes like a bricklayer lays bricks,” left-fielder Leahy noted. Rockwood was rumored to have sought the advice of Donyell Marshall before the game.
