Bryan-College Station, TX (August 8, 2014) – In their final regular season game, the Brazos Valley Bombers (42-14) completed a sweep over the Texas Marshals (19-37) with a 6-3 victory Friday.

The Bombers got on the board first, plating two runs in the bottom of the third inning. The Marshals would then fight back with a three-run fifth to take the lead 3-2.

Scoring two runs in the bottom of the seventh, the Bombers reclaimed a 4-3 lead and continued to add to it in the eighth as two more runs came home. In the same inning, shortstop Jimmy Norris would steal his 22^nd base of the season, becoming the new single-season stolen bases record holder for the Bombers.

“When they first got here, the first day I told them ‘don’t be scared of failure, be aggressive,’” said assistant coach Tyler Gillum. “We’ve got a great group of guys—gamers that played hard all year. [We] taught them a couple things on how to steal bases—they really bought into it and really took advantage of it.”

The Bombers will return to Cellucor Field Saturday night for a do-or-die playoff game against the East Texas PumpJacks in the first round of the 2014 TCL Playoffs. If the Bombers win Saturday, they will advance to the championship series; a best of three against the winner of the Acadiana Cane Cutters and Victoria Generals. Saturday’s game begins at 7:05 p.m. and is Kid’s Free Saturday presented by Chicken Express, where kids enter, eat, and play for free.
