MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Matt Koperniak hit a pinch-hit single in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Memphis Redbirds a 9-8 walkoff win over Nashville in the Triple-A International League on Sunday night.
The St. Louis Cardinals' affiliate started the inning with a "ghost runner" on second base, but Nashville got a flyball out to bring up the No. 9 spot in Memphis' lineup.
Koperniak stepped into the box and delivered his 45th RBI of the season with a single to left.
For the season, the Hoosac Valley High School graduate is hitting .292 with eight home runs and a .356 on-base percentage.
