Express Walk It Off for 70th Win of Season
The Express had to overcome a fine effort from Nashville pitcher Pete J. Smith to grab a narrow 5-4 win at Alleycats Ballpark. Smith went 9 innings and allowed 4 earned runs. Round Rock reliever Tavo Alvarez picked up the win, upping his record to 4-3. Dario Veras absorbed the loss. The Express bumped their record to 70-45 with this latest triumph.

The game was at a stalemate until designated hitter Rich Amaral came to bat in the bottom of the 11th. Facing Nashville pitcher Mark Leiter, he hit a 0-2 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Round Rock on top, 5-4.

Amaral said the win provided a "big morale boost" for the team. "There's a good feeling in the clubhouse right now."
