Triple-A Round Rock erased a 6-0 deficit in the final three innings of Thursday night’s 7-6, walk-off win over the Tacoma Rainiers, jumping out to a 1-0 start in the Triple-A Final Stretch run.

Domingo Leyba tallied a game-high three hits in four at-bats, including a solo home run in the seventh inning. Josh Jung blasted a three-run homer in the eighth inning, his 17th of the season. Through 27 games with the Express, Jung is slashing .333/.426/.638/1.064 with seven home runs, 11 doubles and 18 RBI.

With Round Rock trailing 6-4 in the 9th inning, Sam Huff laced a pinch-hit RBI double before Ryan Dorow reached on a fielder’s choice that brought the tying and winning runs home.

Highly-touted pitching prospect Cole Winn started the contest for Round Rock in his Triple-A debut, allowing three runs on four hits with one walk and four strikeouts in three innings.
