Late Offense Lifts Lexington to 6-4 Victory
The Lexington Legends had to overcome a fine effort from Delmarva pitcher Ben Salas to win, 6-4, at Whitaker Bank Ballpark. Salas went 8 innings and allowed 4 runs. Lexington reliever Nate Mendoza picked up the win, upping his record to 7-9. Jonathan Duffy absorbed the loss. The win makes Lexington 64-55.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Lexington. That's when Tony Cuevas hit a 2-run home run off 24-year old right-handed pitcher Jonathan Duffy to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

Cuevas told the Lexington Herald: "I don't know which I enjoy more -- being a ballplayer or the perks that come with being a ballplayer."
