Thrilling Walk-Off Win for Imperials
The Chuluota Imperials and Picture Rocks Raptors had fans on the edges of their seats.

Zach Hess batted in 5 runs to lead Chuluota to a win over Picture Rocks. The final score was 10-9. Hess chipped in 1 single and 1 home run. Reliever Steve Williams picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Matthew Walrod took the loss.

The game was decided with one out in the bottom of the ninth. With Chuluota trailing 9-6, Hess jumped on a fastball from 20-year old left-handed pitcher Matthew Walrod and hit a grand slam home run to right. With one swing, the Imperials had a walk-off win.

"This place went berserk," Hess said.

Picture Rocks, at 3-15, is off to a dreadful start in 2026.
