Thunder Beaten, 8-5, by Lake Murray
The Lake Murray MotorBoaters overcame a good performance by St. Petersburg shortstop Alfonso Bonilla to knock off St. Petersburg, 8-5, at Heron Field. Bonilla went 2-4 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Bill Marshall, the winner, goes to 7-2. He allowed 5 runs on 8 hits, with no walks and 11 strikeouts over 7 innings. Max Burse earned the save for Lake Murray, his 12th.

The Thunder had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the MotorBoaters going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 23-year old left fielder Juan Díaz came to the plate. Díaz hit a 2-run triple on a first pitch fastball from St. Petersburg hurler Troy Edwards. It was Díaz's 1st triple of the year.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Díaz said.

The third-place MotorBoaters hiked their record to 34-30.
