PAWTUCKET, R.I. - The Toledo Mud Hens (57-68) came from behind to stun the Pawtucket Red Sox (53-71) on Sunday afternoon, taking the series finale at McCoy Stadium by a final of 4-3.
Trailing 3-2 with two outs in the ninth inning, Daz Cameron lifted a 2-0 pitch over the berm in left field to put Toledo up 4-3 with one swing of the bat.
The PawSox jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning on Jantzen Witte's sacrifice fly. In the series, Witte was 5-for-10 with a double, a home run, and five RBI's.
Toledo tied the game in the second when Willi Castro brought home the rehabbing Grayson Greiner with a groundout.
But Pawtucket regained the lead in the bottom half of the inning when Juan Centeno plated Gorkys Hernández with a ground-rule double that hopped over the left-field fence and onto the berm.
They added another run in the fifth inning on an RBI single from Rusney Castillo, which made it 3-1.
In the sixth, Castro lifted his second home run in as many games over the right-field wall to cut Toledo's deficit to one.
