Black Bears Rally to Win, 7-6
The Thunder Bay Black Bears beat the Fairfield Flash, 7-6, at Edgbaston. Thunder Bay second baseman Danny Mercado had the hot bat. He was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. At 25-16, the Black Bears claim second place in the RCL AAA Tony La Russa Division.

Thunder Bay got a clutch hit from Samuel Redden. The first baseman launched a solo home run in the bottom of the 13th inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a kill shot.

"We got the victory," said Redden. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."
