MotorBoaters Get One-Run Win at St. Petersburg
Fans witnessed a whale of a game between the Lake Murray MotorBoaters and St. Petersburg Thunder.

Lake Murray beat St. Petersburg at Baby Thunder Dome, escaping with a 5-4 win. The win in large part was due to shortstop Ángel Ortíz. He went 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles. He scored 3 times. Paul Ramsey earned the win, while 24-year old right-handed pitcher Hal Gaines took the loss for St. Petersburg.

Rick Etheridge came through with a big-time hit for Lake Murray. The center fielder smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give his team the lead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Ortíz. "You've got to get results."

Lake Murray's record now stands at 42-44, placing them 6th in the Silver AA.
