MOOSIC, Pa. — The Durham Bulls defeated the Memphis Redbirds 5-3 Tuesday night at PNC Field, capturing the Triple-A championship for the second time in franchise history.
One big hit was enough for the Bulls and their bullpen, as Kean Wong erased a two-run deficit with a two-out grand slam to right-center field in the bottom of the fourth inning.
The blast put the Bulls in front for good at 5-3, as the Durham pen tossed five scoreless innings to finish off the win.
Skyview High grad was the first relief pitcher for the Bulls. He pitched 1 2/3 innings and didn’t allow a run, hit or walk and struck out one.
The victory capped a historic season for the Bulls, which included an 86-56 regular season record, the team’s 13th International League South Division title, and the club’s fifth Governors’ Cup title.
