Lipscomb bunt sparks Red Wings extra-inning walk-off

Rochester secured a 3-2, 10-inning win over Worcester on Saturday night at ESL Ballpark, ending the game on a sacrifice bunt that led to a throwing error.

Trey Lipscomb laid down a bunt with Robert Hassell III on second base to start the bottom of the 10th inning. Worcester pitcher Wyatt Olds’ throwing error allowed Hassell to score the winning run.

The game was a back-and-forth affair early. Hassell singled with two outs in the second inning, stole second base and scored on Lipscomb’s single to right field.

Worcester responded in the third inning with a solo home run by Matt Lloyd. The Red Wings took the lead in the fourth when Phillip Glasser doubled, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on Seaver King’s single.

Worcester tied the game in the fifth inning. Lloyd doubled to left field, advanced to third on a passed ball and scored on Max Ferguson’s sacrifice fly to center.

The victory was Rochester’s fourth straight, improving its record to 42-25. The Red Wings remain in first place in the International League East, 5.5 games ahead of Jacksonville in the first-half standings.

The Red Wings’ pitching staff was effective. The combined effort of Jack Sinclair, Seth Shuman, Eddy Yean and Zak Kent kept Worcester off the scoreboard in the later innings. Kent was credited with the win.
