Rockers Walk Off with 13-11 Win
Jorge Figueroa was the difference-maker for the Plymouth Rockers in what turned into a shootout with the Moncton Mounties. Figueroa, who is tied for 8th in the NC with a .294 batting average, went 3-for-5 in the 13-11 Rockers win. Plymouth reliever Brandon Feldman snagged the win, upping his record to 7-1. Matt Schmidt shouldered the loss. Plymouth is now 54-54, Moncton 55-53.

The game was decided with two out in the bottom of the ninth. With Plymouth trailing 11-9, Figueroa jumped on a fastball from 20-year old right-handed pitcher Matt Schmidt and hit a grand slam home run to right. With one swing, the Rockers had a walk-off win.

"We couldn't have scripted it any better," Figueroa said in his postgame press conference.
