Ties aren’t just for spring training, you know.
The Glendale Desert Dogs allowed two runs in the bottom of the seventh and final inning on Tuesday afternoon in Mesa, tying the Solar Sox 3-3 in Arizona Fall League action in the circuit’s final week.
Charles Davalan drove home a run with a groundout in the first inning, and doubled home another tally in the second, and scored later in the frame, giving the Desert Dogs a 3-1 lead. Davalan later singled.
Eduardo Quintero did not put the ball in play in any of his four plate appearances, but he did walk three times to go with his lone strikeout. Quintero also stole a base, tying for the team lead with seven on the season. Quintero also has a team-best 18 walks in 17 games, ranking sixth in the AFL.
Wals have been the saving grace for Quintero, who has only eight hits in 52 at-bats with one double, hitting just .154/.375/.173.
Dodgers pitcher Sam Horn pitched the second inning and allowed a one-out walk to Kade Snell, who stole second base. Horn balked him to third base on a mound disengagement violation, then permitted a run on a sacrifice fly.
There have been 163 games so far in the Arizona Fall League this year, and Tuesday was the second tie, and both have been in Mesa. On October 5, the Solar Sox tied the Scottsdale Scorpions, 6-6.
