\n\tWaterloo scored two-out runs in the eighth and ninth innings to sneak by Thunder Bay, 3-2.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBox Score<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTHUNDER BAY, Ontario – Trailing 2-1, entering the top of the eighth, the Waterloo Bucks (27-24\/9-6) came back for two unanswered runs in both the eighth and ninth frames to stifle the Thunder Bay Border Cats (22-29\/5-11) Thursday night at Tbaytel Park at Port Arthur Stadium. Tyler Seleksy (Florida Gulf Coast) notched the game-winning single with two outs in the top of the ninth to plate Mikal Hill (Winsotn-Salem St.) while Nathan Spielvogel (1-5) (Marrimack) hung on for the win over three scoreless frames out of the bullpen.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBack-to-back doubles down the right field line by Jonah Bride (Neosho County CC) and Matthew James (Illinois) with two down in the eight tied the game at 2-2 and gave the team a vital charge heading to the final frame of play. The victory marked Waterloo’s second consecutive win on the road since a 4-3 comeback effort June 5 at Mankato.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tDominant starting pitching opened the affair as Mid-Season Northwoods League All-Star selections Brian Drapeua (Long Island) for Waterloo and Greg Weissert (Fordham) for Thunder Bay battled their way through the first four frames.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tDrapeau left after four full innings, facing the minimum of 12 batters to the box. In a no-decision start, the hurler recorded two strikeouts, walked none and allowed zero hits.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMatthew Stemper (Minnesota) broke the scoreless tie, 1-0, in the top of the fifth when he took home on a double steal. Aided by Selesky, Stemper crossed before his teammate was tagged out between first and second base in a rundown.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMitchell Babb (Ole Miss) took over to open the bottom of the fifth and allowed the only two Border Cat scores in the sixth. The left-hander surrendered two runs on two hits while walking two and striking out a pair in two innings of work on the night.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThunder Bay utilized a two-out, two-run single to left field off the bat of Carter McEachern (Trinity) to overtake the lead, 2-1, heading to the seventh.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSpielvogel (1-5) earned his first victory of the season by shutting down the Border Cats’ bats over three frames on the hill. The reliever utilized help from his defense to hold Thunder Bay to no runs on two hits, securing the 3-2 win on the road.\n<\/p>\n
