Koperniak Clutch for AAA Memphis

iBerkshires.com Sports
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Matt Koperniak was key to a pair of extra inning wins in the last few days for St. Louis AAA affiliate Memphis.
 
On Tuesday, the Redbirds began a six-game road trip at the Gwinnett Stripers with an 11-6 extra-inning victory.  
 
Left fielder  Koperniak gave Memphis a brief one-run lead with a two-run shot in the top of the ninth inning. The left-handed Hoosac Valley Regional High School graduate later delivered a two-run tack-on single in the five-run top of the 10th inning. 
 
Koperniak aided the Redbirds to a third straight extra-inning victory one game following his walk-off single on Sunday afternoon.
 
Koperniak is hitting .251 with three home runs, five doubles and 33 RBIs this summer with Memphis, which is 6-7 in the second half of the season after winning the first half, giving the Redbirds the right to host the International League Championship Series in September.
