Pearl – The Mud Monsters kept their playoff hopes alive with a 4-3 win over the Gateway Grizzlies (53-38) in 10 innings Tuesday night.

The biggest hit of the night came off the bat of Davis Bradshaw in the 10th, as he delivered the walk-off single for Mississippi (45-46). The bullpen deserves just as much credit, keeping the Grizzlies quiet offensively over four-plus innings of relief.

The Mud Monsters got on the board early in the bottom of the first. Brayland Skinner (0-for-4) led off with a walk, stole second and moved to third on a throwing error by catcher Jose Alvarez. Kyle Booker (1-for-4) bounced a ball to third, which wouldn’t usually score a runner from third, but with Skinner’s speed, the center fielder crossed the plate with the game’s first run.
