Critical Game 5 Goes to Host Synths, 2-1
The Lexington Synths nearly wasted a strong game from starter Deedee Martinson, but were saved by some timely hitting in a 10th inning walk-off win over the Vault 81 Dwellers today.
Martinson pitched well in the 2-1 win at Super Duper Mart Stadium. He threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The win allowed Lexington to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 Sole Survivor Series.
Batting in the bottom of the tenth, former first round draft pick Eugene Jeep had a real shot to win the game. Vault 81 pitcher Ryan Goodpryce was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, Jeep hit a run-scoring single. The Synths had a walk-off triumph.
"It was a good night for them and a bad night for us," said Vault 81 manager Drac Jaskula.
Game 6 is scheduled for Friday at CURIE Inc. Field in Boston.
