Down 7-1 in the seventh inning, the Carolina Mudcats gave their fans something to cheer for during the final homestand of the season.<\/p>\n
After losing the first two games of the five-game homestand to Mississippi, it especially looked bleak for the Mudcats. But back-to-back homers by Bill Rhinehart and Cody Puckett to start the seventh inning gave the Mudcats some hope, trailing 7-3.<\/p>\n
Carolina scored four more times before recording an out. A Brodie Greene RBI single tied the score at 7-7 and Rhinehart, batting for the second time, gave the Mudcats the lead for good on a fielder’s choice RBI ground out.<\/p>\n
The Mudcats took a 10-7 lead into the ninth and held on for a 10-9 victory.<\/p>\n
