The Carolina Mudcats topped the Salem Red Sox, 5-4, in Carolina League action at Grainger Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Carolina designated hitter and Milford Mill, Maryland, native Don Stephens. Carolina is 59-64 and Salem, with the loss, 57-66.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Stephens hit a fastball from Raúl Longoria for a run-scoring single. The Mudcats, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"Enjoyed this one," Stephens told the Carolina Citizen. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
