Partons Need Extra Frames to Get Past Bowsers
The Dollywood Partons defeated the Columbus Bowsers by the score of 8-6, with the biggest share of the credit going to second baseman Jim Henkemeyer. Henkemeyer went 4 for 6 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Partons on the day. Josh Banks claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2.1 innings. His record stands at 4-0. This loss makes it 8 in a row for Columbus.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 11th. With one out, Henkemeyer hit a fastball from Joey Byler for a 2-run home run. The Partons, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"It took some blood and sweat, but we got what we were after," said Partons manager Adam Freeman.
