Carter Cunningham hits walk-off homer to lift Jays over Yankees

by | Mar 17, 2025

ECU alum Carter Cunningham is making the most of his opportunities.

One day after picking up a walk and scoring a run for the Toronto Blue Jays, he hit a walk-off solo home run to lift the Jays past the Yankees, 6-5. He hit a two-out, two-strike pitch to near dead center field for the winner.

He was met at home by a mob after rounding the bases. They even found the ball he hit and presented it to him after the game.

It was believed Cunningham would only get to play in Sunday’s game. He came on as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning for the Jays and drew a walk. After a wild pitch moved him to second, he scored the last run on a double by Christian Bethancourt to give the Blue Jays a 6-2 win over the Atlanta Braves.

With that finish, he might stick around a bit longer now before heading to his minor league assignment.
