The Sonoma Stompers hosted the Solano Mudcats on Saturday.
Sonoma would beat the Mudcats by a score of 9-8 in 10 innings.
The Stompers would get off to a hot start jumping out to a 7-0 lead after the second inning. Part of the four run second inning would be credited to a two-run double from Omar Gastelum. Gastelum would finish 2 for 3 with the pair of RBIs.
Noah Rabin would hit an RBI single in the third to extend the lead even further to 8-0.
The Mudcats would slowly chip away at the lead with one in the fourth on a groundout, two in the fifth on a sacrifice fly and a single, two in the seventh on a two-run home run and three in the eight to tie the game at 8 a piece.
The game would go into extra innings where Hayden Hall, who had played second base until the ninth inning, would get two outs in the ninth and three outs in the top of the tenth to keep it knotted up.
Nathan Brasher would be the automatic runner at second in the bottom of the tenth and he would steal third. After a Jose Ruiz walk and an intentional walk, Alfredo Capacete would come up big with a ground ball up the middle for a game winning, RBI, fielder's choice.
The Stomps will travel to Solano to take on the Mudcats at Vanden High School for the last game of this three game set. The game starts at 11am and you can catch all the action at sonoma-stompers.mixlr.com. The next home game will be Tues. July 18. against the Bay Area Admirals.
