Cruce's Walk-Off Caps Wild Night in Grand Junction

The Jackalopes and Owlz engaged in a barn-burner on Wednesday night, featuring seven lead changes and four home runs. After the Owlz jumped out to 1-0 lead in the second, Midseason Draft pick Lavoisier Fisher cracked his professional home run, a two-run shot to give the Jacks a 2-1 lead. The Owlz were quick to answer though, scoring four times in the third and once more in the fourth. The Jacks rallied, evening the score with four runs in the bottom of the fourth. The Owlz took the lead back on an error in the top of the fifth, but Fisher immediately tied the game in the bottom of the frame with his second homer of the night. The game remained tied until the bottom of the eighth inning when Grand Junction scored three times to take a 10-7 lead. The Owlz were once again up to the task though, as Euro Diaz, Henry George, Payton Robertson, and Jackson Coutts produced four straight two-out hits to bring home four runs and give Northern Colorado an 11-10 lead. That lead didn't last very long though, as Joe Johnson tied the game with a solo homer in the bottom of the inning. With two outs and two strikes, Jake Cruce smacked a walk-off two-run homer, providing a thrilling end to an instant classic. The Jacks and Owlz are once again tied for the second in the second-half South Division standings.
