Blue Rocks Get Clutch Win, 8-7
Carolina catcher Zeljko Balasevic pounded Wilmington Blue Rocks pitchers at Daniel S. Frawley Stadium, but it was not enough to keep the Mudcats from falling, 8-7. Balasevic went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. With the win, Wilmington has a record of 59-76. Carolina falls to 40-95.

Batting in the bottom of the ninth, 23-year old first baseman Chris Shevlin had a real shot to win the game. Carolina pitcher Bobby Guerrero was determined not to let it happen. But with one out, Shevlin hit a run-scoring single. The Blue Rocks had a walk-off triumph.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Shevlin said.
