Henry dominates again, Dust Devils walk-off Emeralds in 10
Henry Henry and Jordan Guerrero kept the visiting batters baffled all night, and Luis Almanzar scored on a walk-off wild pitch in the bottom of the 10th to help the Tri-City Dust Devils pick up a 2-1 victory over the Eugene Emeralds in the series opener Thurdsay night at Gesa Stadium.
The second game of the five-game series was Friday night. After this series, Tri-City begins a three-game set against the Northwest League North Division-leading Vancouver Canadians (19-16) Tuesday in Pasco.
After winning back-to-back games, the Dust Devils pulled within a game of the Canadians with 10 fixtures remaining until the half-way point of the season, when the top team in the division is guaranteed a playoff berth.
Alamanzar went 2-for-5 to post his second straight multi-hit game — 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Wednesday’s 8-5 win over the Boise Hawks. He hit a one-out double in the top of the 10th inning Thursday, then came around to score with two outs when Luis Aquino fired a wild pitch with Luis Anguizola at the plate.
