Walker drives Scorpions to win with big game

"It's a short season, so every game really counts," Walker said after the Scorpions' (13-7) victory. "Just try to take it one day at a time, but we got a win tonight and we'll try to keep it going."

After drawing a walk in the second inning, Walker hit an RBI single in his second plate appearance against Rafters starter Yoan Lopez, taking a 2-2 pitch back up the middle to cut Salt River's lead to 3-2. In the bottom of the sixth, he delivered what turned out to be the game-winning hit as he laced a bases-clearing double into the left-center-field gap.
