Castro Delivers Walk-Off Win for Ironbirds
The Aberdeen Ironbirds and West Virginia Black Bears had fans on the edges of their seats.

Led by Jim O'Reilly, the Aberdeen Ironbirds downed the West Virginia Black Bears, 6-5. O'Reilly was 4 for 4 with 2 home runs and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Ironbirds. With this game in the books, Aberdeen is 17-15, West Virginia 8-24.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Aberdeen center fielder Tony Castro, facing Joe Raymond, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Ironbirds the 6-5 win.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Castro. "You've got to get results."
