Report by the Armada’s Josh Feldman The Armada scored three runs in the final two innings to close the game, but former Armada crew member Ryan Brown\u2019s walk-off hit gave the Outlaws a 7-6 win in the bottom of the ninth on Friday at Nettleton Stadium. \u00a0The Armada lost its fifth straight to fall to 9-11 on the year as the Outlaws improve to 13-10. \u00a0 Hideki Irabu pitched seven innings for the Armada, giving up six runs off 12 hits with seven strikeouts and one walk in his third start of the season. \u00a0Irabu did not factor into the decision. \u00a0Justin Segal pitched a scoreless eighth for the Armada. \u00a0 Trailing by three after seven inning, the Armada bats came alive late to tie the game. \u00a0Omar Bramasco blasted his first homerun of the season to lead off the eighth inning. \u00a0Casey Garrison\u2019s infield single and a wild pitch to move him to second set up Daryl Jones for an RBI single to score Garrison. \u00a0Jones\u2019 first hit of the night cut the Chico lead to a run, 6-5. \u00a0 In the ninth inning, Matt Edgecombe led off the frame with a single, and Andy Bouchie was hit by a pitch. \u00a0Steve Young\u2019s sacrifice bunt was thrown away by pitcher Ben Shockey, allowing Edgecombe to score, tying the game 6-6. \u00a0With runners on second and third in the top of the ninth, the Armada couldn\u2019t get another run across the plate as Shockey retired the next three batters. Shockey (1-1) picked up the win, and Rusty Jones took the loss giving up the game-winning hit by Brown in the ninth. \u00a0Bryan Silverman led off the ninth with a single, and after a Truan Mehl sacrifice bunt, Brown put the ball behind right-fielder J.J. Sherrill to end the game. \u00a0 Long Beach scored first in the third when Andy Bouchie doubled and Steve Young singled him home for a 1-0 lead. \u00a0The Outlaws responded in the Chico half of the inning with RBI-hits from Dan Luyben and Rich Janeway for a 2-1 lead. Bouchie put the Fleet ahead in the fifth inning with his first homerun of the year, a line-drive two-run shot to left-center field that gave the Armada a 3-2 lead. \u00a0 Outlaws starter Donald Brandt pitched seven innings for the Outlaws, giving up three runs on six hits with seven strikeouts and a walk. \u00a0Jesse Oster gave up two runs in the eighth as the Armada closed the gap. \u00a0 The Armada and Outlaws play the second game of this three game series on Saturday as Ben Fox takes the mound for Long Beach against Chico\u2019s Michael Martin. \u00a0First pitch is scheduled for 7:05pm from Nettleton Stadium. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ex-Fleet member Ryan Brown was the evening’s hero with a walk-off RBI to lead the Outlaws to a 7-6 win over the Armada, who fell to 9-11 on the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","inline_featured_image":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":"","_":"","_author_alias":"","cap-aim":"","cap-description":"","cap-display_name":"","cap-first_name":"","cap-jabber":"","cap-last_name":"","cap-linked_account":"","cap-newspack_employer":"","cap-newspack_job_title":"","cap-newspack_phone_number":"","cap-newspack_role":"","cap-user_email":"","cap-user_login":"","cap-website":"","cap-yahooim":"","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_email_html":"","newspack_email_type":"","newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_hide_page_title":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_show_share_buttons":"","newspack_sponsor_byline_prefix":"","newspack_sponsor_disclaimer_override":"","newspack_sponsor_flag_override":"","newspack_sponsor_only_direct":"","newspack_sponsor_url":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-3658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3658"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3658\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3658"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=3658"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=3658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
