MOBILE, AL - The Mobile BayBears swept Monday's doubleheader over the Huntsville Stars with back-to-back walk-off wins at Hank Aaron Stadium. The BayBears defeated the Stars 6-5 in game one and 2-1 in game two. With both wins Monday, the BayBears swept the five game series with the Stars and finished their 10 game homestand with a 6-4 record.

In game one, the BayBears came from behind, down 5-0 to the Stars in the bottom of the sixth inning. Alfredo Marte led off the inning with a double, then scored on a one out sacrifice fly from Kyle Greene. Mobile continued the two out rally, pushing across four more runs in the frame when Evan Frey and David Nick delivered RBI base hits. The BayBears completed the comeback in the bottom of the seventh inning when Marte doubled and came around to score the winning run after two straight wild pitches from Stars left-handed reliever Mitch Stetter.

In game two, Mobile scored after Ed Easley drew a bases loaded walk to plate Matt Davidson in the first inning. BayBears starter Derek Eitel held on to a 1-0 Mobile lead over six innings. Eitel had to settle for a no decision after allowing the Stars to tie the game at 1-1 in the top of the seventh inning. Eitel allowed just the one run on six hits.

In the bottom of eighth inning, Dan Kaczrowski beat out an infield single with the bases loaded and two outs, scoring Davidson with the winning run. Right-handed reliever Evan Marshall earned his third win out of the bullpen after pitching a scoreless top half of the eighth.
