The Scranton-Wilkes Barre Yankees earned a dramatic walk-off win over the Norfolk Tides on Wednesday night. Or maybe it isn’t quite accurate to say they earned it—they were really handed the victory by Norfolk rightfielder Anderson Feliz’s horrific blunder.
Scranton trailed by one run in the bottom of the 10th and had a runner on second with one out when Breyvic Valera came to the plate. Valera ripped a liner over Feliz’s head into the rightfield corner, which allowed Gosuke Katoh to easily score the tying run. Feliz could have kept his team’s chances alive by simply fielding the ball and holding Valera to a double.
