Wild Bill delivered the decisive swing in the ninth inning, hitting a three-run walk-off homer that lifted the club to a 3-1 victory and completed a three-game sweep. His 10th home run erased a 1-0 deficit in one stroke and supplied every run in the win.

What happened

The club entered the ninth without a run and facing a one-run deficit. Wild Bill changed the result with the game-ending home run, bringing home three runs and turning a potential 1-0 loss into a two-run victory.

The swing closed the series with a sweep and gave the club another late finish at home. There was no need for extra innings this time: the three-run homer ended the game in the bottom of the ninth.

Why it matters

Two of the club's three victories in the series came on walk-offs. Friday's game required 10 innings before its finish, while the finale was decided by Wild Bill's ninth-inning home run.

Those two endings framed a sweep that pushed the club to 25 games over .500. The three-game result also leaves the team carrying a 62-37 record into its next series.

By the numbers

Wild Bill's home run was his 10th of the season and accounted for all three runs in the 3-1 victory. The club had trailed 1-0 before the decisive swing, meaning the homer simultaneously erased the deficit and ended the game.

The 62-37 record reflects 99 games played and a difference of 25 between wins and losses. The sweep ensured the club would reach its 100th game with that 25-game cushion above .500 intact.

What to watch next

Monday brings the start of a new series and the club's 100th game. After a three-game sweep featuring two walk-off victories, the immediate question is whether the late-game momentum carries into the next matchup.

The milestone also offers a clear checkpoint in the schedule. The club will arrive there at 62-37, with Wild Bill's 10th homer providing the final and defining moment of the completed sweep.
