NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- The Ocean State Waves scored four runs in the top of the 11th and went on to a 9-6 win over the SteepleCats in the New England Collegiate Baseball League.
Jack LaRose went 3-for-5 with a double in the game-winning rally.
North Adams (1-9) had a golden opportunity to win the game in the bottom of the 10th.
With the game tied, 5-5, Nelphie Lopez started the inning with a sacrifice bunt to advance Bobby Stang, the "ghost runner," to third base. Ocean State (3-8) then intentionally walked the next two hitters to load the bases with one out.
Waves reliver Andrew Jacobs then got a 1-2-3 double play to end the inning.
Jacobs struck out a pair and allowed one unearned run in the bottom of the 11th in three innings of work to earn the win.
North Adams used five pitchers. Joe LaPrade struck out a pair and allowed no runs in two innings of work.
