Hamilton Wins Game 5 in Extras; On Verge of CS
The Hamilton Bulldogs nearly wasted a strong game from starter Jon Escobar, but were saved by some timely hitting in a 10th inning walk-off win over the Cornwall Royals today.

Escobar pitched well in the 2-1 win at Mariachis Ballpark. He threw 7.1 innings of 3-hit ball. The win allowed Hamilton to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 Division Series.

Batting in the bottom of the tenth, 27-year old second baseman Adrian Fekety had a real shot to win the game. Cornwall pitcher Colby Heim was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, Fekety hit a run-scoring single. The Bulldogs had a walk-off triumph.

"The game is never over 'til it's over," said a jubilant Tony Velez, the Hamilton skipper.

Game 6 is scheduled for Sunday at King George Park in Cornwall.
