Lumberjacks lose to Admirals in 11 innings

The Lumberjacks and Admirals played a tightly contested game on Friday night, with the Admirals tying the game at 4 in the 8th and eventually winning in the 11th 5-4 on a walk-off double.

Rob Ellis started the game, breezing through the first 7 innings, giving up only 1 run.  In the top of the 8th, down 2-1, Mike Taylor belted a 3-run homer to put the Jacks up 4-2 and on the on the way to a possible second strait win.  However, in the bottom half of the 8th, Ted Lemasters hit a 2-run shot to tie the game 4-4, and eventually send the game into extra innings.

In the bottom of the 10th, with the bases loaded,  no one out and the winning run only 90 feet away, Joe LoPresti came in for Eric Edwards and struck out Jesse Oliver, Tillman Pugh, and got pinch-hitter Matt Streich to ground out to first to end the threat.  In the bottom half Garrett Barnett and Jordan English both doubled to complete the extra-inning walkoff for the Admirals.

Game 4 of the series is tonight at 5:05pm at Wilson Park in Vallejo.
