Storm Score Late to Upend Cardinals, 8-7
Starting pitcher Blaise Hughes pitched well enough to help the Wichita Storm beat the Montreal Cardinals by the score of 8-7. Hughes picked up the win for Wichita, going 8 innings. He gave up 5 runs on 9 hits. He now sports a record of 5-3. Jimmy Ward was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 6 of 6 save opportunities.

It could have been a different outcome for Wichita, had it not been for Edwin Erazo, the 22-year old center fielder . Erazo contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the eighth inning to put Wichita up, 6-5.

"If you want to be considered a good team, these are the kind of games you have to win," said Wichita manager Francisco Solano.

Wichita goes to 38-22. The win puts them 6½ games up in their division.
