HOYLOKE -- Tyler Palmer came home on a Brett Clements groundout in the top of the ninth to lift the SteepleCats to a wild 8-7 come-from-behind win.

Palmer reached on a walk in the ninth before moving to third on a groundout and a walk that loaded the bases. His run completed a monster comeback for North Adams, which trailed 7-1 after two when the Blue Sox plated seven in the second. The SteepleCats responded with four in the fourth, keyed by a Palmer two-run double. They tied the game in the seventh on a two-run single from Clements.

Clements finished with three RBI while Palmer drove in two. Matt Longfield got the win, allowing just one hit over 11 3 innings.
