D4 Opening Day Spotlight: Albuquerque Dukes at St. Louis Browns, April 12, 2038
The Browns Walk Off on the Wings of an Angel
A late offensive surge first saved the Browns and then won it for them in the home opener at Sportsman's Park on Monday.
Albuquerque jumped out to a four run lead in the fourth, capped by a two run blast by LF Carl Faux off St. Louis starter Hideaki Ito, but the young pitcher recovered to last seven full.
His offense bailed him out with four runs between the seventh and eighth innings, on two homers: the first a three run shot by RF Mauricio Lopez and the second an eighth inning solo shot by Josh Reynolds.
That brought it to the tenth inning, when a single by C Matt Wedel and a bunt by Allen Lockwood set up Angel Cardenas's game winning double, giving the Browns a 1-0 start to the young season.
