Highlanders Pull Out Late-Game Win, 6-5
Due in part to second baseman Tom Baker, the Asheville Highlanders chopped down the Ft. Polk South Thunder Hawks, 6-5, in 10 innings. Baker went 2 for 3 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Asheville reliever Barry Newman snagged the win, upping his record to 2-4. Jorge Salas shouldered the loss. The slumping Thunder Hawks have lost 6 straight.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Asheville designated hitter Hokusai Suzuki, facing Jorge Salas, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Highlanders the 6-5 win.

"It's great to see the crowd jacked up," Suzuki said.
