Portland Sea Dogs Triumph with Last-Minute Homer
Portland, ME – In an electrifying finish, Jhostynxon Garcia homered in the bottom of the ninth inning to propel the Portland Sea Dogs to a thrilling 4-3 victory over the Chesapeake Baysox on Saturday at Hadlock Field.

However, the Baysox quickly regained the lead in the seventh. The drama intensified in the eighth, where Mikey Romero hit a double with two outs, subsequently scoring on a clutch single by Ahbram Liendo, leveling the score at 3-3.
Reidis Sena earned the win for the Sea Dogs (3-1) after retiring the only batter he faced in the top of the ninth. Starting pitcher Tyler Uberstine delivered a solid performance, allowing two runs on four hits over 5 2/3 innings. Meanwhile, Jeremy Wu-Yelland added vital relief, giving up one run and two hits across three innings.
This victory not only halted a three-game losing streak for the Sea Dogs but also showcased their resilience and determination on the field. Fans can look forward to more action in the coming weeks as the Sea Dogs aim to build on this thrilling win.
