Rock Shoulders delivered the game-winner, a drive to deep left over the drawn-in outfield to score pinch runner Brian Inoa from third.

Gioskar Amaya started the rally with a triple to right center. Jeimer Candelario, who homered for the second consecutive game, followed with a sharp single to score Amaya and knot the game at 4-4.

Willson Contreras singled, moving Candelario to third base. Inoa pinch ran for him. Eugene brought in reliever Matthew Chabot to face Shoulders, who was 3-for-18 on the season before his walk-off single.

Hayden Simpson earned the win for Boise (2-5). Matthew Shepherd took the loss for Eugene (4-3).
