Bridgewater, NJ – Matt Fields hit a game-winning walk off home run (4) in the bottom of the ninth inning to lead the Somerset Patriots (25-18) to a 2-1 win over the Bridgeport Bluefish (14-28). The home run capped off a beautiful night for baseball before a season high 7,322 fans at TD Bank Ballpark on Saturday night.
“I don’t think words can express what I felt at that moment,” said Fields after his first career walk off. “I’m speechless because the last time I switch hit was 2011 and I just started doing it again two days ago. Things are going smooth and just clicking.”
