Sewell, N.J. – Left fielder Lorenzo Morello's drove home second baseman GianCarlo Palmieri in the tenth inning to give the Rowan Gloucester Roadrunners a 9-8 walk off victory over the Harford Fighting Owls.
The Fighting Owls trailed 7-4 in the sixth, but scored two runs on bases loaded walks and a third via passed ball to force extra innings.
Jimmy Nixon singled in the ninth to put Harford ahead 8-7, but a throwing error in the bottom of the inning allowed RGCG to tie the game once more.
Palmieri walked to start the tenth, then moved over to third after a wild pitch and a bunt single. Morello's single sealed the Roadrunners second straight win over Harford on the day, marking the first time this season that a team has taken both games of a doubleheader off the Fighting Owls.
Harford drops to 42-7 on the year, while the Roadrunners improve to 29-7.
