Gastelum the Hero for the Stompers in a 4-2 Victory

The Sonoma Stompers hosted the Bay Area Admirals on Tuesday.

Both teams would get off to a slow start as Joey Van Dusen for the Stompers and Matt Campo for the Admirals would combine for two scoreless innings.

Offensively, the Admirals would get going first with an RBI single from Jack Grant in the third and they would score another in the fourth on an RBI double.

The Stompers would cut the Admirals lead in half by scoring on four straight walks in the bottom of the fourth.

Pitching for both sides would continue to deal as it would stay 2-1 all the way until the ninth inning but the Stompers would not go down without a fight.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, one out, Tyler Martinez on second, Jose Ruiz on first, Omar Gastelum at the plate, 1-0 the count and Gastelum drives a ball 352 feet for a walk off three run home run and they Stompers take the 4-2 victory over the Admirals!
