NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- The North Adams SteepleCats Wednesday scored two runs on an error in the bottom of the ninth to earn a 5-4 win over the Vermont Mountaineers in the New England Collegiate Baseball League.
Matthew Colella started the game-winning rally with a single to left. Chris Diaz then drew a walk.
Hunter Ray's fly ball to center allowed both runners to move up, and the Mountaineers intentionally walked Jake Butler to load the bases.
Nelphie Lopez then grounded into a fielder's choice, but an error on the play allowed Colella and Diaz to score to end the game.
Vermont rallied to take the lead with two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth after North Adams built a 3-1 lead.
Jake Butler went 2-for-3 and Lopez doubled in a six-hit attack for the SteepleCats.
North Adams used five relievers on the mound after starter Gage Wheaton went four innings, allowing one run. Parker Guthrie earned the win after striking out a pair in a scoreless ninth inning.
North Adams (3-12) goes to Vermont to play the Upper Valley Nighthawks on Friday.
