Highlights: The Jerusalem Hebrew Hammers scored a walk-off, 10-inning victory over Mumbai Saturday night, thanks to extra-inning heroics from DH Jesús Alvarado. With the score tied at 4, the Metro Stars brought in usually-reliable closer Rafael Cruz, but the Hammers made short work of him. Third baseman Patrick Lue launched a line drive double to right center, which brought Alvarado to the plate. Cruz ran the count to 0-2, but then grooved a fastball that Alvarado hit on a line into the rightfield stands for a 2-run, walk-off homer.
Player of the Game: José Ramírez, Jerusalem left fielder who went 3-5 with a home run and two doubles.
Cliché of the Game: “Our team showed some gumption,” said Ramírez. “I like it.”
