Diamond Hoppers Rally Past Beavers, 10-9 (11)
August 5th, 2018
UTICA, Mich. – Brian Davis drove in the game-winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning and John Menken went 2-for-4 and drove in three runs to lead the Eastside Diamond Hoppers (17-17) to a come-from-behind victory over the Birmingham Bloomfield Beavers (19-15), 10-9 (11), in extra innings on Sunday at Jimmy John’s Field.
Brandon Rawe stayed hot at the plate, hitting his third home run in his last two games, finishing the game 2-for-4, with two RBIs and walked twice. Jack Hranec drove in a game-high four runs, going 3-for-5, while Thomas Roulis added a 3-for-5 performance as well.
Trailing 5-0, the Diamond Hoppers scored two runs in the sixth inning and four more in the eighth inning to tie the game at 6-6. With two outs and a runner on third base in the 11th, Davis hit a hard ground ball down the first-base line that Hranec dove for and got his glove on, only to see the ball pop out and squirt away to allow the game-winning run to cross the plate.
