Portland, Maine- The
Hartford Yard Goats (6-3) emerged victorious after 17 innings of play on
Friday night at Hadlock Field, taking game two of the four game series
by a final score of 5-2. The game tied the longest game in Sea Dogs
franchise history, a 8-7 Portland win over the Connecticut Defenders on

The Yard Goats struck first in the top of the sixth off Stankiewicz. After a leadoff double by Jackson
Williams, Ashley Graeter singled him over the third base, then Raimel Tapia hit a sac fly for his first career Double-A RBI.
The Sea Dogs tied the game up in the bottom of the eighth off of Rayan Gonzalez. Tzu-Wei Lin battled to a full count and on the sixth pitch of the at bat sent a single the opposite way to score Wendell Rijo from third base and tied the game 1-1.
Hartford plated their second run in the 13th inning on a sac fly by Pat Valaika, scoring Jackson Williams. But the Sea Dogs tied it back up in the bottom half of the 13th - after a leadoff single by Tzu-Wei Lin, Matt Carasiti threw the ball past first baseman Ashley Graeter on a pickoff attempt and Lin advanced to third base. He scored on a sac fly by Aneury Tavarez to tie the game 2-2.
With the bases loaded and one out in the top of the 17th, Jackson Williams hit a three-run double off of Simon Mercedes (L, 0-1) to plate the winning runs for the Yard Goats. Williams finished the game 4-for-7 with 2 doubles, 3 RBI, 2 runs scored, and caught all 17 innings.
