Capacete Gets it Done in the Ninth to Sweep the Admirals

The Sonoma Stompers hosted the Bay Area Admirals for the last game of a three game series.


The Stompers needed a hero again and this time it would be Alfredo Capacete in the bottom of the ninth inning as he would hit a walk off single to finish off the series sweep.

Sonoma would get the scoring going first by getting one in the first due to some good base running by Jag Burden who would score on a wild pitch. They would score twice in the second on some more good base running from Mikey Bell.

Bay Area would respond in the top of the second as Brock Rudy would hit a two-run home run, which would cut the Stomper lead to just one run.

Omar Gastelum would pick up his tenth RBI of the series and tie the game up at two a piece in the third inning.

The Admirals would grab another run in the fourth on a single by Rees Kent.

The pitchers on both sides would battle all the way into the eighth when both teams would score. For the Admirals it would come on a single by Riley Acosta and for the Stompers Jose Ruiz would smash a three-run home run to add some insurance runs.

The Bay Area Admirals would tie it up with a three run top of the ninth inning.

Tomorrow the Stompers take on the West Coast Kings in a non-league contest. For the Stompers, Austin Steeves will get the start. Steeves is a high school phenom who was second in the county last season in strikeouts as a junior.
