Kevin Watson Jr. singled in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Inland Empire 66ers came back from a run down for a walk off win over the Modesto Nuts on Wednesday night. After surrendering a run in the top of the inning to fall behind 2-1, IE rallied for two to get the 3-2 win at San Manuel Stadium.
The game was a tense pitcher’s duel that was scoreless through five innings, before each team struck for a single run in the sixth to make it 1-1. It remained that way until the back-and-forth action in the ninth.
