Rails Score Late to Nip Whales, 9-8
Greg Hudson added some punch to the Richland offense, helping them outmuscle the Virginia Beach Whales, 9-8. In the game, Hudson, who is tied for 6th in the 3AA with a .423 on-base percentage, was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Ukko Markkanen claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. His record stands at 1-2. The Rails sit in 5th place in the Menard's AA with a record of 29-26.

The decisive blow was delivered by Ken Link in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run home run off 28-year old right-handed pitcher José Lewis to win the game for Richland. The home crowd went nuts.

"We fed off the energy of the crowd at the end," Hudson said.
