Led by Richard Shepherd, the St. Petersburg Thunder defeated the Bethesda Atoms, 8-7. Shepherd was 4 for 5 with a home run, a triple, and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Thunder. St. Petersburg reliever José Bustamante was the winner. His record is now 3-2. The losing pitcher was Tom Robinson. Ed Wheeler earned the save for St. Petersburg, his 11th.

St. Petersburg took the lead, 8-7, in the bottom of the seventh inning. With one out, right fielder Carl Gaston hit a 2-run home run that set the crowd abuzz.

Thunder manager Terrence Eler wasn't all too pleased, despite the win, telling reporters that the performance highlighted some clear areas for improvement moving forward. He refused to be more specific, however. "I'm not gonna publicize our weaknesses," he said. "That stuff stays in the clubhouse."

The Thunder now own a record of 40-50.
