Visalia, CA- The Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernardino fell to the Visalia Rawhide on Wednesday night at Valley Strong Ballpark when Ronny Simon took a bases loaded walk in the ninth to walk-off the Sixers 7-6. The loss sent Inland Empire to its season-worst fifth consecutive defeat, dropped them below .500 at 39-40 and was the second straight walk-off loss to the Rawhide who improved to 20-60.

The 66ers took a lead in the first when Rawhide starter Kyle Backhus walked Carson Matthews and then Braxton Martinez drilled a two-run homer to left giving IE an early 2-0 lead. The homer was Martinez’ 11th of the season and his second consecutive game with a dinger. Glenallen Hill Jr. tied the game in second for the Rawhide against IE starter Adam Seminaris with a two-run triple. The Sixers retook the lead in the third when Paxton Wallace was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded by reliever Emmanuel De Jesus Acosta. Inland Empire made it 4-2 in the top of the sixth on Carson Matthews’ RBI single. Seminaris went 5.0IP allowing two runs on three hits with two walks and eight Ks in a no-decision. The Rawhide tied the game 4-4 in the bottom of the sixth sparked by Simon’s leadoff triple against IE reliever Jhosua Alcantara. Visalia took a lead in the eighth when Simon struck again drilling a leadoff homer against IE southpaw Jerryell Rivera (1-2). The Rawhide added another in the frame on Deyvison De Los Santos’ RBI double. Trailing 6-4 in the top of the ninth Martinez was hit by a pitch with one out setting up a game-tying two-run blast by Gabe Matthews against Jose Alcantara (1-0).
