Cardinals Walk-Off in 10th Inning on Wild Pitch

A beautiful Saturday night at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium didn't start off on the right track for Cardinals pitcher Austin Warner. A lead-off home run followed by a four run 2^nd inning put Warner's back against the wall. The Fire Frogs were on to him, striking seven hits in their first two at bats to take an early 5-0 lead.
The opposite was happening for Palm Beach early on. Cardinal hitters went hitless through four innings before José Godoy broke it up with a single in the 5^th.

The bats gained life in the 6^th inning for the Birds. Stefan Trosclair lined a double into the right-center gap, scoring Evan Mendoza and Johan Mieses. Two batters later, in comes Andy Young. He lifts a high flying ball to left-field for a two-run home run to put the Cardinals within one run. Now 5-4 Florida leads.
Cardinal pitchers would continue to shut down batters, leaving the game up to the offense in the bottom half of the 9^th to create late inning magic for second night in a row.
Shane Billings reached on an infield single. Than with two outs and a 1-2 count, Fire Frogs pitcher made a poor pick-off throw to first, sending Billings to third on the overthrow. José Godoy would capitalize off the opportunity with a single of his own, plating Billings for the game tying run.
In the 10^th inning, Palm Beach RHP Will Latcham recorded a three up, three down top half of the inning. The Cardinals were looking hungry for a run entering the dugout.
With the 2-3-4 hitters due up, a walk-off was just around the corner. Starting on second base, Kramer Robertson advanced to third on a ground out, bringing Mieses to the plate.
A wild pitch sent to the back stop left a clear lane for Robertson to trot home with a smile as teammates rushed the field.
The Cardinals bullpen shut down the Fire Frogs, with a final line of: 7 IP. 8 K. 0 R.
The Birds improve to 7-3 on the season, winning 6-5 in 10 innings.
