Brady Janusek came through with the first walk-off hit of his life as the Foresters rallied for three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to claim a 5-4 victory over the San Diego Waves on Thursday at Eddie Mathews Field.
In an epic display of clutch hitting, the Foresters made the majority of their headway in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs. Addison Klepsch worked a one-out walk, Kurt Ippolito reached base on an infield single with two outs, and Sawyer Farr loaded the bases with a walk, setting the stage for Janusek’s heroics.
“I’ve got a lot of confidence in him. He hasn’t gotten off to the start that he wanted because he is a really good hitter,” said Foresters manager Bill Pintard of Janusek. “He hit in the two-hole at Baylor, and he was a freshman All-American.”
