Flores Blasts Athletics, Reds Take Game 2, 4-3
The Round 1 is tied at 1 games apiece, thanks to a dramatic walk-off victory at Ed Smith Stadium for the Cincinnati (AZL) Reds.

21-year-old third baseman Kevin Flores was the star for Cincinnati (AZL), as he was 4 for 7 with a home run and 2 doubles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once in the Ed Smith Stadium contest. The 4-3 Cincinnati (AZL) triumph allowed the team to even the best-of-5 series with the Oakland (AZL) Athletics at 1-1.

The decisive blow was delivered by Eric Smith in the bottom of the 16th when he hit a solo home run off 19-year old right-handed pitcher José Mejía to win the game for Cincinnati (AZL). The home crowd went nuts.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Cincinnati (AZL) manager Mark Lamm.

The next game is set to be played for Sunday, September 7th , 2025 at Papago Park Sports Facility.
