The Williamsport Crosscutters scored six runs in the fifth inning to overcome a four-run deficit and defeat the Lowell Spinners on Thursday night, 8-5.
The Crosscutters trailed 3-0 after one inning and 4-0 after four innings before putting together a six-run outburst in the fifth.
Chace Numata hit a two-out, two-run single to score the final two runs in the fifth and give Williamsport a 6-4 lead.
Lowell scored a single run in the sixth inning to close to 6-5, but the Crosscutters gave their bullpen some insurance with a pair of runs in the eighth.
The win ended a three-game losing streak for the Cutters, who had won just one of their previous eight contests.
Leadoff hitter Roman Quinn had three hits, scored twice and stole his 14th base for the Cutters. Cameron Perkins added two hits as seven Cutters had at least one hit.
Chris Nichols relieved starter Delvin Perez in the fourth inning and pitched 2 1/3 innings to move to 3-0 on the season. Jeb Stefan pitched two scoreless innings before handing the ball to Geoff Broussard who recorded his third save of the year.
The Crosscutters and Spinners will close out their three-game series tonight in Lowell at 7:05. Williamsport will conclude its road trip with three games at Hudson Valley.
