The Fastest Path To The Post-Season Is Still Pitching

51s Lose Via Walk-Off Homer Off Carson, Drop Game One 4-3

Salt Lake 4, Las Vegas 3 Oh, come on! Binghamton already went down via walk-off tonight…and the Las Vegas 51s suffered the same unfortunate fate. This is just too much to take in for one night.
