Walk-Off Walk Sends Tri-City to NWL Championship Series

The Tri-City Dust Devils punched their ticket to the Northwest League Championship Series with a 3-2 walk-off win in ten innings over the Spokane Indians on Friday at Gesa Stadium. Sean Guilbe drew a walk with the bases loaded to force in the game-winning run in the tenth.
A pair of two-out RBI singles in the first two innings of the game gave Tri-City an advantage they would keep until the ninth inning. The lead slipped away after Spokane rallied to it in the top of the ninth inning. In extras the Dust Devils found a way to clinch the series win to keep the postseason run alive. Guilbe's walk-off walk sealed the victory and earned the team a spot in the NWL Championship Series.
