Alexandria, La. --- Catcher Doug Freeman’s RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Alexandria Aces a 9-8, walk-off win against the Colts Monday night at Bringhurst Field.
Freeman’s base hit scored designated hitter Austin Newell. Newell drove in the tying run earlier in the inning with an RBI single.
The Colts and Aces battled back and forth through the early innings, and were tied at seven after the fourth. Neither starter got out of the fourth inning, but strong relief pitching held both teams scoreless from the fifth through the seventh.
