Drive suffers walk-off loss, hurts playoff hopes

BOWLING GREEN, KY. — For a few brief moments Thursday night, the Greenville Drive appeared to have pulled off yet another dramatic comeback in their late-season playoff push.

Down to their final strike and trailing by two runs in the top of the ninth, Nazzan Zanetello blasted a homer to left-center field, pulling Greenville even at 6-6. But the celebration was short-lived, as Tony Santa Maria, the leadoff batter in the bottom half, launched his second home run of the night to give the Bowling Green Hot Rods a 7-6 walk-off victory.
