“Benge laced an RBI double in the 10th, finishing 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI.”
DISPUTED
One source (Operation Sports) states Benge finished 1-for-3 with a home run, an RBI, and two walks. However, the claim states he had an RBI double and one walk. Another source mentions an RBI double from Luis Torrens in a different context. The specific stats (double vs home run, 1 walk vs 2 walks) are contradictory across the provided snippets.
