Late Rally by Bulls Locks Up 10-6 Win
The Durham Bulls beat the Louisville Bats, 10-6, at Louisville Slugger Stadium. Austin Shenton, in particular, was impressive. He went 3-5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Braden Larue earned the win after being called from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 3.2 innings. He upped his record to 2-0. The Bulls raised their record to 15-26.

Durham used the timely hitting of Ryan Ward to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bulls on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Shenton said.
