Launch Continue Hot Streak with Extra-Inning Win
The Cape Canaveral Launch bested the Newark Falcons by a score of 6-4, with second baseman Miguel Morales getting the main credit. On the day, Morales was 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3 for the Launch. Cape Canaveral reliever Leroy Welch picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Harry Williams took the loss. Colter Harrison, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 2nd save.

Cape Canaveral used a clutch hit from Mark Armstrong to get the win. The pinch hitter drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Launch ahead, 6-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a doozy.

"We ground out the win," said Morales. "That's all that matters."

The Launch boast a remarkable 42-9 record.
