Harrison-Dudley Delivers Knockout Blow as Mobiles Win Another Thriller

GREAT FALLS, Mont. — The RedPocket Mobiles showed their resilience once again Saturday night, rallying from a four-run deficit before defeating the Great Falls Voyagers in the Pioneer Baseball League's Knockout Round after the teams finished tied 4–4 through nine innings. Trailing 4–0 entering the sixth, RedPocket chipped away with a Justin Johnson solo home run before scoring twice in the eighth on RBI singles from Jordan Harrison-Dudley and T.J. McKenzie. In the ninth, pinch hitter Jonathan Smith singled and later scored on Braylon Bishop's RBI double to tie the game and force the league's signature home run shootout.

Adam Christopher kept the Mobiles within striking distance despite Great Falls building its early lead. The right-hander worked 7.1 innings, allowing four runs—three earned—on nine hits while striking out two. Billy Rozakis followed with two strikeouts in two-thirds of a scoreless inning, and Juan Abreu tossed a scoreless ninth to send the game to the Knockout Round.

Offensively, T.J. McKenzie led the Mobiles with three hits and an RBI, while Bishop and Harrison-Dudley each collected two hits. Harrison-Dudley doubled, drove in a run, scored once, and stole a base, while Johnson reached base twice and launched his solo homer in the sixth. Spence Coffman doubled and scored, Josiah Chavez added a hit and a walk, and Jonathan Smith made the most of his pinch-hit opportunity by sparking the ninth-inning rally.

With the game still tied after nine innings, the Mobiles turned to Jordan Harrison-Dudley for the Knockout Round, with catcher Nick Poss serving as his batting practice pitcher. Harrison-Dudley delivered the winning home run, while Great Falls could not match the effort, giving RedPocket another dramatic victory in the Pioneer Baseball League's unique tiebreaking format. After clawing back from four runs down, the Mobiles finished the comeback in fitting fashion—with one final swing.
