St. Petersburg Scrapes Out 5-3 Win
The St. Petersburg Thunder beat the Ithaca Fighting Imps, 5-3, at Baby Thunder Dome. The Thunder got a fine performance from center fielder Joe Bunte, who went 4 for 5 with 4 singles. St. Petersburg reliever Fernando Bustamante was the winner. His record is now 1-0. Jasper Pérez took the loss. Troy Edwards earned the save for St. Petersburg, his 3rd of the year.

Javier Meléndez drove in one run for St. Petersburg. The 28-year old first baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Jasper Pérez. It was his 1st RBI of the season.

"I'm proud of the way we took care of business and got the 'W' today," Bunte told the St. Petersburg Gazette. "Whatever it takes."

St. Petersburg, with the win, is 3-1.
