Lopez Leads Divided to Win
The D.C. Divided defeated the St. Louis Coeur, 9-8, in Menard's Third League action at The BFIB. Samuel Lopez pulled his weight. The 7-year veteran went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. David Guzmán locked down his 15th save. The winning continues for D.C., with the latest triumph making it 9 straight.

The most crucial at-bat for D.C. came in the top of the ninth inning. That's when Lopez stroked a first pitch fastball to right-center for a grand slam home run, putting D.C. up, 9-8.

"This game is about whoever is putting up more runs," said Divided manager Jonathan Gerth. "Simple as that."
