Thrice as Nice: Rockville Seizes - Advantage With Late Win
An all-important Game of the ACB Championship went into extra innings at Rock Creek Sports Complex, with the Rockville Superbas eventually emerging on top. Rockville has Warren Simpson to thank, after the shortstop was 4 for 6 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 times and drove in 6 in the 12-9 victory. The Superbas are now one game away from the Round 3, holding a - lead in the best-of- series.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the tenth. With two out, Simpson hit a fastball from Tomás González for a 3-run home run. The Superbas, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"We're feeling good about this," said Superbas manager Ray DeRoy. "We have got an advantage now and we just need to keep the pressure on."

The next game is set to be played Friday at Firebirds Ballpark. Slated to start are Kevin Holmes for Rockville and McGrath O'Malley for Phoenix.
