The Salem Red Sox will wrap up the season this weekend when they play host to the Lynchburg Hillcats for five games.

The Sox will play a 7:05 pm game Friday night, a 3 pm doubleheader on Saturday, a 4:05 pm game on Sunday and a 1:05 pm game on Labor Day Monday to close out the season. The weekend will feature a Friday night beer stein giveaway for “Augtoberfest.” It will be Military Appreciation Night Saturday, and Monday will be a mystery bobblehead giveaway for Fan Appreciation Day.

A night after the Salem Red Sox pulled off a sensational 10-inning victory, the shoe was on the other foot Tuesday night, as they fell 9-8 in 10 innings on a walkoff balk to the Winston- Salem Dash at BB&T Ballpark. The Red Sox (29-34, 61-70) saw their playoff hopes come to an end Tuesday night, with both their own loss and the win by the Lynchburg Hillcats sufficient to eliminate Salem. The Dash (39-23, 80-52) overcame a host of self-inflicted wounds in the win, having surrendered eight walks and six stolen bases and committed two errors.

Michael Osinski hit a game-tying homer in the seventh inning for his first round-tripper at the High-A level. Any chance Salem had of winning the second half went by the boards last weekend when the Sox were swept by the Blue Rocks in Wilmington, 8-2 Friday, 8-2 Saturday and 8-3 Sunday.

Salem needed a sweep the other way, or at least two of three, to have a shot in the final weekend. On Monday they bounced back from the sweep with a 6-5 win at Winston-Salem to open that four game series. Ryan Scott was the hero without recording a hit, knocking in the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly in the top of the 10th and gunning down the tying run in the bottom of the frame to secure a the extra inning win.
