Rum Runners Clip Launch 6-5 in League Divisional Series Contest
Gordon Ziersch pitched well, but the Cape Canaveral Launch lost anyway, falling 6-5 in extra innings to the Orlando Rum Runners at Launch Pad. With the win, Orlando took a 2-2 lead in the best-of-7 Round 2. Ziersch pitched well, giving the Launch 6 innings and allowing 5 runs.

Orlando used a clutch hit from Darby Blenkinsopp to get the win. The third baseman drilled a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Rum Runners ahead, 6-5. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Orlando manager Brett Jackson.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Launch Pad in Cape Canaveral.
