Walk-Off Bunt Propels Fireflies To Mother's Day Win

COLUMBIA, SC — Sunday's game at Spirit Communications Park was all about bouncing back for the Fireflies. Who knew a bunt would be the game winner in Columbia's 5-4 win over Delmarva.

The home team trying to rebound from a game one 8-7 loss to Delmarva. Ali Sanchez with the hit and Quinn Brodey beats the tag at home in the 7th inning. That was the first of three runs for the Fireflies in that inning and Columbia would go up 3-0 but Delmarva tied it.

So the bottom of the 10th Columbia trails 3-4 with Jay Jabs at the plate. He lays down a bunt. Delmarva scatters to pick it up and the third baseman tosses an errant throw to first and guess what? Raphael Glado and Hansel Moreno scores-so that's a walk-off bunt for Jabs. The veteran of the Fireflies believers in a clutch situation.

Jabs was promptly surrounded by his teams and received a Gatorade bath after the game.

Columbia wins 5-4 to even the series. Game three will be tomorrow night at 7pm at Spirit Communications Park.
