Terdoslavich homer sinks Durham Bulls in 11th
The Durham Bulls dropped the finale of a three-game set to the Gwinnett Braves at Durham Bulls Athletic Park, falling 3-1 in 11 innings Sunday afternoon.
Tied 1-1 in the 11th inning, Durham left-hander Jordan Norberto retired the first two hitters. Jose Peraza then lined a double off the left-field wall, before Joey Terdoslavich broke the deadlock with a two-run home run over the Blue Monster.
The score had been knotted since the third inning, when the Bulls (47-43) pulled even. Boog Powell singled with one out, and Mikie Mahtook singled Powell to third. Taylor Motterthen lined a single off the Blue Monster to score Powell.
Gwinnett (45-45) had opened the scoring in the second inning. Adonis Garcia and Cedric Hunter singled. Hunter’s single was misplayed by Mahtook though, as the ball went under his glove and all the way to the wall, allowing Garcia to score from first.
Ryan Kelly (3-1) earned the win with two scoreless innings. Norberto (1-3) took the loss, surrendering two runs on two hits over one inning.
The Bulls will return to action Thursday after the All-Star break. The Triple-A All-Star Game will take place at 8 p.m. Wednesday at Werner Park in Omaha, Neb., and will be televised on MLB Network.
