The Ottawa Lynx electrified the crowd with a walk-off win.

The Ottawa Lynx picked up a win at Rivermen Ballpark, dropping the Newport Unicorns, 5-4, in 10 innings. Zach Heller, who is tied for 4th in the SL1 with a 3.91 ERA, was the difference-maker. The defeat makes Newport 58-66.

Batting in the bottom of the tenth, 22-year old third baseman Tom Modell had a real shot to win the game. Newport pitcher Chad Elder was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, Modell hit a run-scoring single. The Lynx had a walk-off triumph.

"We ground out the win," said Heller. "That's all that matters."
