Other adjectives certainly could apply.

How about wild, crazy, improbable or unbelievable?

In the end, Nate Muncy’s one-out, two-run single in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted Jamestown to the come-from-behind victory over Newark before 1,620 fans at Diethrick Park.

“Apparently, we did what we were supposed to do,” Reitebach said.

Muncy’s heroics capped a crazy final inning, during which the Pilots scored seven runs in the top of the ninth to take a 9-6 lead only to watch the Tarp Skunks answer with four runs in the bottom half to escape with the win.

The victory raised Jamestown’s record to 20-7-1, trailing first-place Batavia (20-6) by half a game in the West Division. Newark, meanwhile, dropped to 4-18.

“Our first goal is to make the playoffs,” Reitebach said. “Moving forward, we’re at 20 (wins now) and we’ve got to kind of extend it over this next week and kind of look forward to the next step, which is, hopefully, getting a home playoff game.”

Continued all-star level play from Eric Weeks will help.

Against the Pilots, Week drilled an RBI double in the first inning, had a sacrifice fly in the sixth, belted a towering two-run home run in the eighth and drew a bases-loaded walk in the decisive ninth.

“He’s our guy,” Reitebach said. “That’s why he’s in the two-hole (in the batting order). We’re trying to get him a lot of at-bats. He works really well, he hits the ball hard and he’s a guy with a tremendous work ethic. … He’s really a veteran presence, somebody we had here last year and knew we wanted to bring him back instantly. He always brings a smile to my face when he’s up to the plate.”

Weeks wasn’t the only Jamestown batter to have a good night, though.

Grant Moore (double, triple) collected four hits, and Nolan Smith and Paul Dulanto (two doubles) both had two to highlight a 13-hit attack. As it turned out, Jamestown required every one of those base knocks, because the Pilots — owners of the worst record in the league — refused to quit.

In the top of the ninth, they sent 13 batters to the plate, collected four hits and took advantage of five walks and a wild pitch to plate seven runs to seize a 9-6 advantage heading into the bottom of the ninth.

But Newark’s bullpen failed to hold the lead, too.

Caleb Jordan, pinch-hitter Anthony Trommer, Moore, Weeks and Smith were issued consecutive walks to pull within 9-8. With one out, Muncy took the first pitch he saw from Grant Ingram and lined it to left, bringing Moore and Weeks home with the tying and winning runs, prompting quite the on-field celebration. Joseph Santos (4-0), one of five Tarp Skunks pitchers, earned the victory.

Cam Morrison, one of four Pilots pitchers, suffered the loss. Aiden Bolan and Matthew DiOttavio both had two hits to lead Newark’s offense.

NOTES: In a game that lasted 3 hours, 40 minutes, there were 355 pitches thrown, 19 walks and two hit batters. … Reitebach was tossed with two outs in the top of the ninth after arguing a close play at first base that did not go the Tarp Skunks’ way and led to two Newark runs. “It was a combination of frustration. I thought it was a bad call,” he said. “And we were kind of dead in the dugout, so somebody had to get something going there.” … Zachary McLean, Jamestown’s starter, pitched well, allowing three hits over five innings. Relievers Rocco Almonte and Collin Pence held the fort through the eighth, but Chase Beran, the Tarp Skunks’ closer, struggled in the ninth, allowing the Pilots to take the lead. … Jamestown is off today and Thursday. It returns to action Friday when it entertains Batavia. First pitch is 6:30 p.m.
