Bradenton (35-28) fell 7-6 at Charlotte (33-30)

After pitching a scoreless eighth, reliever Logan Stoelke (7.13 ERA in 24 IP) gave up six of Charlotte’s seven runs in the bottom of the ninth that gave them an epic walk-off win.

Aaron Shortridge (3-2, 3.38) started, turning in seven shutout innings, allowing just three hits and a walk while fanning eight.

He’d been staked to a 5-0 lead, and then another in the eighth, as the Marauders banged out twelve hits. 1B Dylan Busby (200/300/453) homered for the second straight day, his 12th, and 2B Adrian Valerio (194/239/269) had his second straight three hit game. SS Robbie Glendinning (329/385/572) returned from his short-lived suspension with two hits and two walks, as did 3B Jesse Medrano (219/280/285) with three hits and a walk. CF Travis Swaggerty (227/322/341) was 0-for-3 with two walks.

Stoelke opened the bottom of the ninth by hitting Ronaldo Hernandez, then loaded the bases with one out after a single, pop up and walk. Another single drove in the first run, prompting a mound visit, but Stoelke walked the next batter, forcing in the second run. A wild pitch and a double scored three more, leaving the Marauders with a 6-5 lead and driving Stoelke from the game. Ryan Vales got a K for the second out, but a double tied the game and then Hernandez, who started the inning, singled to end it.
