Rams Win Nail-Biter
For the home crowd, it was a thrilling walk-off win.

The Derby Rams had to overcome a fine effort from Sheffield pitcher Álvaro López to win, 6-5, at Derby Stadium. López went 11 innings and allowed 4 runs. Derby reliever Adalberto González was the winner. His record is now 3-16. Hernán Hurtado took the loss.

Up to bat in the bottom of the 12th, 27-year old second baseman Marcos Cruz had a chance to be the hero. Sheffield pitcher Hernán Hurtado wanted to foil that plan. But with one out, Cruz hit a sacrifice fly. The Rams had themselves a thrilling win.

"We need to get rid of the bad mojo," said Cruz. "Maybe this win will help."

At 28-63, Derby is in last place in the Baseball Federation of England & Wales English Baseball Championship.
