Mooses Take Tight Tilt, 5-4
Moose Head Stadium was host to some intense drama.

The Manchester Mooses faced a tough opponent in Thunder Bay pitcher Esteban Herrera, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Moose Head Stadium by a final score of 5-4. Herrera went 5.1 innings and allowed no runs. Today's win puts Manchester at 56-55, while Thunder Bay falls to 67-45.

Juan Martinez was the walk-off hero for Manchester. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Mooses first baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Walking a team off at the end -- there's no greater feeling," said Martinez.
