Wings win home opener .... June 11th, 2006

Following a disappointing few days which the Wings had their home opener washed out, and lost on the road Saturday, the boys worked a walk-off-win on Sunday 2-1 while hosting Rochester. The Wings transplanted opener went down to the wire, with both runs crossing the plate on wild pitches. The first wild pitch in the seventh inning tied the game then the second in the bottom of the ninth came with two out on a 2-2 pitch to win the game, walk-off style! Jeremy Khurt (Southern Indiana) pitched a superb game for 7 innings, unfortunately his effort was only rewarded with a no decision once the Wings were only able to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh. Colin Sloand (Lehigh University) held the game in the eighth, and Aaron Greenblatt (Northeastern) benefited from the walk-off, getting his first win of the season working out of a one-out-jam in the ninth.

The Wings have a day off on Monday and will work out for MLB scouts on Tuesday. They head back to the field on Wednesday with a night game at Watertown, which can be heard live on TeamLine at 7PM. The next home game is scheduled for the Wings to host the Saratoga Phillies Thursday night at 7:30PM.
