Reapers Use Late Score to Top Gangsters, 7-6
Behind a solid performance from shortstop Rich Simmer, the Carolina Reapers defeated the Chicago Gangsters, 7-6. Simmer went 2-4 with a home run, a triple, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Reapers. Adam Werth claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. His record stands at 2-1. The Reapers, now 23-31, have won 7 in a row.

The game was decided with no one out in the bottom of the ninth. With Carolina trailing 6-5, Simmer jumped on a slider from fireballing right-hander Keith Kramer and hit a 2-run home run to left. With one swing, the Reapers had a walk-off win.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Simmer said.
